Song | King's Command |
Artist | Dougie MacLean |
Album | Snaigow |
作曲 : Dougie MacLean | |
作词 : MacLean/Stewart/Hadden/Sutherland | |
I've been called to fight for royalty | |
For the king at his right hand | |
Be a martyr for my country | |
Spill my blood out on the land | |
And if I should die in battle | |
Then it's a noble thing I do | |
But if I should be a hero | |
Then I will return to you | |
The glens have been my kingdom | |
My only royalty | |
And I would raise my sword against the lord | |
To protect my family | |
But to join an English army | |
And to fight for them abroad | |
No for England nor her empire | |
Would I ever raise my sword | |
I can hear the trumpet sounding | |
It will lead me far away | |
But although my soul is leaving | |
My heart will surely stay | |
And I will fight for them tomorrow | |
Though it be against my word | |
Than to see my children perish | |
On an English soldier's sword |
