Tae The Battle Lyrics - Real Mckenzies

The world we know is changin' fast 

The walls are closin' in 

And now's the time to make a stand 

Don't let the cowards win 

We're beset by a common foe 

Ye can hear the distant drums 

Yes. We're a force, brave women and men 

The scheme shall be undone 

Who'll be the ones to take command my friends 

Put down the guns and up the sword into the battle 

Tae the battle again 

They're comin' for you to smash yer dreams 

And strangle you with shame 

So stand yer ground and don't back down 

Or the struggle will be in vain 

So sound the charge and fire the pipes 

We're headed homeward bound 

Yer hearts and souls are burning bright 

We're headed for higher ground 

So remember the creed, remember the cry 

Remember the ancient way 

And we'll be the ones dug in with the hounds 

We've taken the highest ground 

We'll be the ones to take command my friends 

Put down the guns and up the sword into the battle 

Tae the battle again
