Deep within the dark ages

Times known for war and fury

The lowlands and the highlands were united

The mighty hordes of war turned west


Far beyond the channelled waves

All amidst the orange, green and brown

The land coloured red, white and blue

On the mighty battlefields


High over the planes the flags waved

Union Boots crushed clover leaves

Eilin pipes pierced by longbow arrows

Echoes of mighty clashes ring


Dim light at the horizon

Clouds of battle storms rise into the sky

All the colours bleed into one

How the mighty have fallen (now)
