Came The Greed For Greater Land,
To Cleanse The Glens Of Highland Men,
To Destroy The Scottish Clans.
And Their Cannons Cut The Broadswords Down,
Like Bloody Stalks Of Grain.

They'd Put The Natives Down.
In The Name Of Their Oppressor's Queen,
They'd Rid The Holy Ground Of...

From TheFamine To Wounded Knee,

And The Father Of The Gallowglass,
The Chieftain And The Brave,
Cries Lonely Tears Of Anger,
As He Stands Beside The Graves Of...
(Chorus)
