Battle Cry Lyrics by Saxon

Rock the Nations

1986

[Verse 1]
Can you hear the sound? The sound of distant voices
Floating gently 'cross the glen
Can you see the people? The people gathered round
They're worshiping their king

[Pre-Chorus]
They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song

[Verse 2]
There's talk of a rebellion, the highlands are aflame
From the mountains to the sea
A prince has come to Scotland to claim his rightful throne
The seeds of war are sown

[Pre-Chorus]
They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song, yeah

[Chorus]
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry

[Verse 3]
An army marches northwards to meet the fearless clansmen
For England and St George
The red coats face the tartan, the battle lines are drawn
The musket and the sword

[Pre-Chorus]
They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song, yeah

[Chorus]
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry


[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Many men have fallen, the prince has had his day
Culloden was the name
Their battle cry can still be heard to this very day
Floating gently 'cross the glen

[Pre-Chorus]
They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song

[Chorus]
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry-cry-cry
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battle cry
