Dougie Maclean - The Battle lyrics

Coming home from Nechtansmere Now a new day has begun Now we've banished foe and fear Coming home, coming home from Nechtansmere Now this bloody battle's won We have given more than all We have made the wolf to run Routed by the buzzards' call All our brothers gathered well Fierce upon that hellish hill And what a brave a tale to tell What a fuller cup to fill We have served the broken bone And stared at d**h with open eye Now we could carve the weathered stone And raise them upwards to the sky Now our children safe can sleep Now our old ones live the day Gone the darkness and the deep Fate has thrown the sword away
