Nightshade - Stand and Be True

They tell me that when I was born my father came to me
He put a short sword in my hand
And proclaimed for all to see
Here now is born a warrior a prince among the clans
Protector of the majesties gods grace upon the land
Many years have passed since then and many on my own
But I still can see my fathers there on the hills above my home

Stand and be true
Your brothers depend on you
Let your heart soar like the eagle without fear
Stand and be true
Let no mortal fear show through
Let honor be your shield throughout the years

I learned to be a warrior at my fathers side
Till the bloody day at culloden when I heard a fateful cry
The ground was wet with blood that day
And vengeance had my soul
For all who came into my field were struck a mortal blow
Then I saw him fall and ran to him too late I feared but no
As I knelt to nor him he spoke to me once more

Stand and be true
Your brothers depend on you
Let your heart soar like the eagle without fear
Stand and be true
Let no mortal fear show through
Let honor be your shield throughout the years

On blood soaked ground I fought
And killed with many I have known
But wearness and age have come to me
The flames still burns hard in my heart
Through my eyes do seem less clear
Let honor be my shield throughout the years

Stand and be true
Your brothers depend on you
Let your heart soar like the eagle without fear
Stand and be true
Let no mortal fear show through
Let honor be your shield throughout the years
