Only Distant Echoes Reign (Part 1) Lyrics by Ruadh

The Rock of the Clyde

2020

Cold and dark is the forest deep
Where souls of the fallen and pride of the nation now sleeps
I hear the pipes are calling
Carried by the wind like the leaves in autumn
Lost in a drift, a powerful sway
Like waves crashing to the shore
Its stories kept for aeons and it history etched in stone
Paths now overgrown
Retaken by the trees
Where our fathers walked
Reclaimed by nature's growth
Seasons pass one to the next, our customs wash away
Like rain falling from the sky
And all that remains are the stories our elders tell
A sorrow fills my heart as I wander through the woods
A pain is felt within as I walk along the shores
A cold breath always follows like the ghosts that still remain
Dying to be heard in these empty glens
Whether by the sword or by the people's will
A time will come for us to rise again
A crown atop a king's head, there will never be
But our sons and daughters will be free in the end
