The Rock of the Clyde
Charcoal skies overhead As the dawn surrenders to the cold night A chill overbearint is felt from within A failing light is all that's left The embers of flame that kept us warm So many secrets hidden in soil So many bones are buried within So many souls wander these lands These lands we call our home Enter the season Bring with you the darkness The harvest has ended and we must take refuge from the cold The offerings given to the land that will waken When the world is reborn The embers of the flame!

A fortress of stone on the banks of the Clyde Casting its shadow upon river so strong Imposing the landscape, a vantage for sight It stands through time and the changing of hands The fort of the Britons, the seat of the southern kingdom The Rock of the Clyde The Rock of the Clyde Lost in the memories of long dead bards whose words and stories gave life to this land Ingrained in our fabric in our nation's tale A fortress of stone on the banks of the Clyde Casting its shadow upon river so strong Imposing the landscape, a vantage for sight It stands through time and the changing of hands The fort of the Britons, the seat of the southern kingdom The Rock of the Clyde A fortress of stone on the banks of the Clyde Casting its shadow upon river so strong Imposing the landscape, a vantage for sight It stands through time and the changing of hands The fort of the Britons, the seat of the southern kingdom The Rock of the Clyde From ages of iron to modern day, it stands atop the river proud Though many structures have dawned it peaks, still it remains unbent by time, a monument of the past The Rock of the Clyde

The fire is lit, a log is burning bright To conquer the darkness and banish evil from sight For fortune in the days to come the last light is used From the year that takes flight The old oak that bears mistletoe Blessed by the Gods and given as a gift To adorn the pine tree with colours of the moon and stars to represent the fallen as the year comes to a close The light of winter holds Voices linger in the gathering dark Telling tales of the land and its people To which we hold a spiritual bond unbroken by time

Laying on the hillside Scattered on the glens The blissful fields of heather For which my soul still yearns I am born of the soil, this land that keeps me close Inside I feel the heartbeat of all that fell before Deep in thought I lay Gazing at the sky Above fields of Heather Are eagles soaring high A brazen land, this is bold with bracken strong Sorrow held within And history told in song Its purple shimmer glistens among the green landscape below As I gaze upon this plain and it fills my empty soul Born we are as servants, ignorant to the ways of old Awoken by our need to feel something more thant we are told I hold my hands to the sky as the rain begins to fall It's here now I wander listening to the voices from before Here at the fields of heather my spirit is reborn A cold chill is around us connected to the land

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
