They came marching in hordes thru the glen. Dressed for battle, did the brave scotsmen. Dressed in kilts, with their standards held high. Brave white warriors, willing to die, did the brave scotsmen. With swords of steel, alongside their shields. They proudly marched onto the battle field. With the pipes and drums roaring out loud. The brave scotsmen felt so proud It was for the land of the heather and thistle. For scotland, his love so true. It was for the land of the lochs and glens. For scotland, he did it for you. For scotland, his love so true With the shout of "for scotland" they did attack. Knowing this battle, there was no turning back. With the sounds of sword clashing and the stench of blood they beat the enemy. Into the mud, did the brave scotsmen. The standards on the battlefield still flying high. They knew they'd never let their country die. Some of their brothers in the battle did fall. But they will never be forgotten each one and all It was for the land of the heather and thistle. For scotland, his love so true. It was for the land of the lochs and glens. For scotland, he did it for you. For scotland, his love so true To the highlands, their homelands, they did return. And the fallen warriors, they will burn. The spirit of the warrior will be set free. To a place where the spirits shout, "hail victory". To his people and village a brave warrior lost. Always remembered as he paid the cost. The object of life is to survive. In the land of your people you shall thrive It was for the land of the heather and thistle. For scotland, his love so true.
