Laoch - The Cairns

Between great mountains, imbedded in their shadows,
We search for what we never had.
The instructions for life, that we are to embrace.
For these giant tombs hold the answer.
Their peaks, an inscription carved into the skies above.

Climb to the sky.
See the cairns, left by ancestors, so wise.
Let each stone erode your ignorance.
Ignorance of the oppression.

Gaze upon the glens, once ours.
And the rivers, once pure.
For in these days of enslavement,
They are filled with blood.

Let the blood be a reminder of the past.
When they massacred our people.
And let the cairns remind you of this dark present.
Let them motivate the fight, to take back our land.

Saor Alba.
