Can you see them Marching proudly, across the moor? Hear the wind blow, thru the driftin snow Can you see them, the Ghosts of Culloden?' Scotland's flag was raised, by Loch Sheil. Our King's come hame, to claim his crown. Our Clans rallied round, wi' avenging steel; But blood would flow now, on Scottish ground. Chorus: Men wi' honor marched, to the battle field. Outnumber'd 5-1, they fought wi' pride. Hear their swords clash on blood red shields! For Cal-e-donia, they fell and died. Chorus: This is our requiem, to our countrymen! And to their women, and their children too. They were burn'd an' clear'd from each Hielan glen! Can you feel their heartbeat inside of you? |

I transcribed the following lyrics from a sound sample found at Barnes & Noble: Many bravely fought And sadly they were slain But they died with such pride and dignity Their lives were not in vain We still remember them.... |

Can you see them Marching proudly across the moor? Hear the wind blow through the drifting snow. Tell me, can you see them, the ghosts of Culloden? 1. Many bravely fought, and sadly they were slain, But they died with such pride and dignity. Their lives were not in vain; we still remember them. They fought to save their land and died for liberty. CHORUS 2. Through the mists you hear a lonely piper play. Listen carefully; you'll hear a mournful cry. Swords and bayonets crash as man to man they clash. They came to fight to live and now they died. CHORUS 3x Written by Isla Grant As sung by Isla Grant on "Mother" (2000) |
