Albannach - The Uprising lyrics

(spoken) I wonder what you felt inside As they dragged you through foreign streets The townsfolk spat venom at you As churchmen took their seats And did you think of your Motherland As you stood there center stage Or did you feel suppression, Dear Sir, Like an animal in a cage? I wonder what you felt inside As they hung you by your throat Through tear-welled eyes you looked out As the crowd began to gloat. And when they cut you down So that your body slammed the ground Did you pray to God for strength, Dear Sir, To fight another round? I wonder what you felt inside When you burned with ropes pulled tight Did you see the glee upon their faces As they watched you lose the fight? And when every inch of your body cried out With the burning, searing pain, Did it ever cross your mind, Dear Sir, "Was it all in vain"? I wonder what you felt inside When you met the butcher's blade Did you see their blank expressions As they watched your life-force fade? Or did your soul break free from the pain and the hurt To a pine covered glen And will you ever know, Dear Sir, What a hero you became? Aye, will you ever know, Dear Sir, What a hero you became? (shouted) Don't fear their cannons or their muskets! Charge with me! We fight for what we love! We fight for our country! Scotsmen! Charge, For Scotland!
