Slumber No More
music by Rab McCaullich
The winter snowfalls now abound,
The cold old wind is all around,
So pull your plaid in tight and warm,
Cover the scars of the battle-torn.
The Bear she slumbers through the night,
Her cubs embraced so warm and tight,
Protective mother, fearsome bite -
Surely puts her foes to flight!
Chorus
So sling your claymore 'pon your back,
Grab your shield and dirk and pack,
Ready the clans to march to war -
The Bear awakes and sleeps no more! (x2)
Anu the mother hears your cry,
The Queens she sends from down on high,
The Lairds they chose to lead us all,
The clans unite till Cerridwen's Hall!
The laochs they lead us from the front,
Valiant heroes to bear the brunt,
Ready the clans to march to war -
The Bear awakes to settle her score!
Chorus
The clansman fights for Hearth an’ Home,
With sword ‘n’ dirk and magic tome,
For Queenies, Clan, a merry band,
Highlands, islands, and the mainland.
The chieftains rally all their kin,
Sing the 'cry and know we'll win,
Ready the clans to take the field -
The Bear awakes - the enemy yields!
Chorus (x2)
