So long since the great civil wars When England won the day An uprising now in the north Edward's troops they march again A great promise of adventure Recruited to light for the crown We'll die as heroes and men If they won't bow we'll bring them down On rolling hills and plains of green We will meet the enemy For valor and the glory The Scots lay across the bridge A peasant army poised to fight Our commander orders us on So we cross the narrow way They attack without warning Our cavalry meets its end Pushed back to the water's edge Am I to die with my countrymen? In this year of our Lord By the will of our king Warhorses set to ride Through the north of England In this year of their death When our swords have found them Songs sung to our victory At the Battle of Stirling Bridge The cursed thing broken and burned But Wallace ran us down We fight for freedom they say As we stain this sacred ground But I'm a soldier to the end Still young and courage-strong My life bound for lasting glory Told in tales and song On rolling hills and plains of green We will meet the enemy For valor and the glory In this year of our Lord By the will of our king Warhorses set to ride Through the north of England In this year of their death When our swords have found them Songs sung to our victory At the Battle of Stirling Bridge
