Letra

We marched beneath the morning rain
Red coats dark with mud
Through the mist along the heather ridge
With iron, smoke and drums
Then somewhere across the valley floor
A lone pipe cut the sky
And every man beside me froze
For we all knew that cry
It played the hymn my father sang
When winter closed us in
And for a moment none of us
Remembered who we'd been
Same hills behind us
Same cold sea
Tell me how they became the enemy
Same blood at Killiecrankie
Same language in the rain
Men raised beneath these northern skies
Now falling all the same
How did I raise my rifle
At hands that looked like mine?
No victory at Killiecrankie
Just brothers left behind
The Highland charge came hard and fast
Like thunder through the glen
Blue banners tearing through the smoke
Then steel on steel again
I fired before I saw their faces
Before the lines collided
God forgive the man I was
The moment that I fired
Then through the smoke and shattered cries
A tartan caught my eye
A boy who ran those riverbanks
Back in another life
Same prayers among us
Same old songs
Tell me where in God's name we went wrong
Same blood at Killiecrankie
Same language in the rain
Men raised beneath these northern skies
Now falling all the same
How did I raise my rifle
At hands that looked like mine?
No victory at Killiecrankie
Just brothers left behind
When silence finally crossed the hills
No cheer rose from the line
Only wounded voices calling out
In accents just like mine
I found him by the river stones
One hand against his chest
And I still feel the rifle kick
Each night I try to rest
He looked at me but said no word
What good would words have done?
We wore different colours in the end
But both died in that mud
Same blood at Killiecrankie
And I pulled the trigger blind
Now every pipe across these hills
Sounds like the dead at night
No glory waits at Killiecrankie
No honour left to claim
I left part of my soul there
The day we killed our own
