The tribesmen of the highlands in Scottish weather As they walk though the mountainous air that only does them better Than any city smog could know And people think they know better so They denigrate what seems like dust But there’s something in their freedom that I trust As they scream their battle cry And head into war to die As they face a foreign foe For the kingdom that they know Living on the brilliant expanse Of the wind that makes the leaves dance And I don’t want to make no enemy Out of grey modernity And what those people have become Mixing genes with ancestors that have known some Of the brutal blow of a sword Or the things they think of for which there is not a word To describe the horror inflict And the end may come quick Or it may come slow But I just wanna say I don’t think they know What they profess to And I see the Celt in you
