Verse 1: Born as a simple man In the Scottish land, Free land! But English killed my dad, Then they killed my wife My beloved wife And the revenge was mine But it can't return My Marion Through my pain I saw Our way to be free So I lead you to war!
Chorus: I know there's no hope for us all But I do believe And it's worth dying for Dying for Remember me when I am gone But don't pray for me In Scotland's heart I'll live on I will live on!
Verse 2: Every man will die But do you really live? What for? It's a chance to have A country of our own Will you follow me? English rape your wives How long will it last? Tell me! Sons of Scotland's ground Hear the piper's call It leads you to war!
Chorus: I know there's no hope for us all But I do believe And it's worth dying for Dying for Remember me when I am gone But don't pray for me In Scotland's heart I'll live on I will live on!
