Bannockburn Lyrics


The king of Scots, the mighty Bruce

Outnumbered three to one

English armies all around, before the day is done

For honour we test our swords and ride

To battle we may not long survive

2.000 horse and infantry, the enemy appears

With axe and spear and shield and lance

Through mud and blood, no fear

Hand to hand, we turn and face the foe

Eye to eye, though hell itself waits below

Hacked to pieces, butchery in the field

Crimson chaos, die by my hand don't yield

Stand! Hold your ground! Pole axe and fire

Slaughter around, drowned in the mire

Bannockburn, it's so worth fighting for

Bannockburn, were off again to war

Tooth fang and claw

Bannockburn, it's so worth dying for

Bannockburn, time to settle scores

What's in store?

Stab, bite! Gouge, fight!

Falling arrows, pierce the whites of your eyes

Easy targets, severed heads and war cries

Black hearts and flame, still we fight on

Across the borders they came, slain one by one

Bannockburn, it's so worth fighting for

Bannockburn, we're off again to war

Tooth fang and claw

Down from the glen came the Bruce's men

With their standards held high to the sky

Into the fray armoured knights and their prey

Carnage and mayhem so many to die

To the victors go the spoils, nobles are ransomed for gain

We are free from oppression. Scotland has risen again

English retreat, Edward took flight

We won't be beat, this land is our right!

Bannockburn, it's so worth fighting for

Bannockburn, were off again to war

Tooth fang and claw

Falling arrows, pierce the whites of your eyes

Easy targets, severed heads and war cries

Bannockburn, whoa!

Bannockburn, whoa!
