Brave Heart

how soft is thy land to buy in hand
with one but yet common armor 
fought against with yee farmer 
breathing for glory amongst enemy

a feeling of as if i belong to thy land
a lang thou art never sensed like thee 
wit and brave risk taking nerve
fear not my child thou art to serve
tears yet to fled from that child's bed
years in the eyes to enemies dept
no sword no war yet glory call

years later anxious wrath brought back
what once was past 
and all but speaking wounds blast 
to raise and thunder games begin
love then resides in fane 
and world by all lands become sane
for a flower that's yet of vain 
marriage behold them all 
in secret still to fall
for all seasons to roll
and reach somewhere so tall

then haze and mist in darkness 
shed upon air
leaving leaves dry and fare
a brides death rises to breathe
and anger to all bounds prepare
to invade and slaughter to what 
once a heart a daughter 
was to bear' remains

to all rebels the heart prevails 
to fight and stand for each Scots fate
forever remember thy heart brave
