My king won another crown – for Scotland’s pride That is what we thought but we were not right Now he rules in London – a faceless king Sold his ancient kingdom to the enemy
Five laws You gave at Perth Betray the rights We gained by birth
[Chorus:] Cry, cry, cry, cry for freedom
The heritage of centuries – you did betray The blood of Bruce flowing in your veins How could you give away – what Braveheart died for Freedom may be lost now and forever more
You gain a crown We pay the price You think you rule But we will rise
