Saor - Roots lyrics

Buried in this soil Are roots that go deep Like scars etched in the earth Ancient wounds, a reminder Of a distant age When the heart of the mountain Pounded in every proud man's chest Of forgotten oath When blood and honour Spoke to every true man's soul Scotia's thistle guards the grave Where repose her dauntless brave Never yet the foot of a slave Has trod the wilds of Scotia Never forget Their sacrifice
