| Scots' Music |
| Lion |
| A simple brief thought on Scottish Independance. Were the outdated union not of some very high value to England and the English, why would they fight so to try to keep it? There are only so many slices to a pie, for one to have more, another must have less. Lastly - to those Scottish "Loyalists" - to whom are you loyal? Scots royalty died in the 1700's so it can be no Scots crown - And certainly not it appears to those who came before, that bled for Scotland and her freedom ! |
| In the words of Burns, as he wrote from the heart. Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled, Scots, wham Bruce has aften led, Welcome to your gory bed, Or to victorie. Now's the day, and now's the hour; See the front o' battle lour; See approach proud Edward's power, Chains and slaverie. Wha would be a traitor-knave? Wha can fill a coward's grave? Wha sae base as be a Slave? Let him turn and flie: Wha for Scotland's king and law, Freedom's sword will strongly draw, Free-man stand, or free-man fa', Let him follow me. By Oppression's woes and pains! By your Sons in servile chains! We will drain our dearest veins, But they shall be free! Lay the proud Usurpers low! Tyrants fall in every foe! Liberty's in every blow! Let us Do - or Die!!! Choose your destiny. |
| I am the lion Wallace saw The same dour lion nane may thraw Warder of old Scotland's law I am the lion Wallace saw Centuries and ages flown, what hae they but honours thrown Round my rugged brow and crown, time ne'er steals away I stand up to a' declare, Scotland's weal and power's my care Tak' this warning, foes beware, bide awa frae me Many ages I hae seen, Scotland's royal roost I've been Freedom's stronghold staunch, serene, bold and leal for aye Freedom is the lion's aim, freedom for the lion's ain Match the lion in his den, or let freedom be Here I stand and watch for aye, roar the hour out day by day Freedom strong to sound the sway, from far sea to sea Freedom is the lion's aim, freedom for the lion's ain Match the lion in his den, or let freedom be |
