Sons Of Somerled Lyrics - Singles - Mcdonald Steve

Through an age of fighting men 

When sword was mightier than pen 

There lived a clansman bold and true 

The very one our name came through 

Born of blood line dating from 

The hundred battles warrior Conn 

Gaelic viking in his veins 

Testify his battle fame 

For three hundred and fifty years 

The western highlands lived in fear 

Fighting to regain the Isles 

Down to Islay and Argyle 

From the Dalriadan line 

Through the centuries there we find 

A Scotsman born with Viking name Born to rule through love and pain 

Hail to ye sons of Somerled Hail to ye sons of Somerled 

Ruling from the Isle of Man 

lslay was the place they'd ...make their stand 

After almost twenty years 

He rid the Isles of Norsemen 

..then and there 

Hail to ye sons of Somerled 

Hail to ye sons of Somerled 

Through the timeless history, 

Fighting for their destiny 

Images fly through my head, 

Images of Somerled... chorus 

The warrior kings lived by the sword 

From hill to loch and dark fjord 

Battling 'til his life he shed 

Leaving the throne 

To the sons of Somerled
