Battle Cry

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Can you hear the sound? The sound of distant voices Floating gently 'cross the glen Can you see the people? The people gathered round They're worshiping their king [Pre-Chorus] They came to hear the story They came to sing the song [Verse 2] There's talk of a rebellion, the highlands are aflame From the mountains to the sea A prince has come to Scotland to claim his rightful throne The seeds of war are sown [Pre-Chorus] They came to hear the story They came to sing the song, yeah [Chorus] Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry [Verse 3] An army marches northwards to meet the fearless clansmen For England and St George The red coats face the tartan, the battle lines are drawn The musket and the sword [Pre-Chorus] They came to hear the story They came to sing the song, yeah [Chorus] Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4] Many men have fallen, the prince has had his day Culloden was the name Their battle cry can still be heard to this very day Floating gently 'cross the glen [Pre-Chorus] They came to hear the story They came to sing the song [Chorus] Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry-cry-cry Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry Let me hear, let me hear Let me hear your battle cry
