Tunes Of War Lyrics - 1996

[ Buy Tunes Of War ]

I walk alone through burning towns
My sword is in my hand
But the battle has been lost
And there is nothing to defend
At Culloden in seventeen fourty six
Scotlands fate was sealed

We wrote a bloody history
Wounds that never healed

[Chorus:]
Fight for death or glory
Fight at culloden muir
Die in pain and anger
Die in pain and anger

I still see Gillis MacBean
Standing wounded from the fight
Back to the wall he fought
And thirteen Redcoats died

But the Clans were beaten and destroyed
Their wives are raped in shame
Prince Bonnie's on the fight again
The rising was invane

We were a people free and brave
Heroes stood tall
But history is mercyless
Now we are to doomed to fall

The battle of culledon
The end of Scotland
