A Gleam in the Gloamin'

[Verse] In Scotland's gray and mossy glen The loch lies still Our old friend But winds are shifting Shadows grow The burn runs dry while fires glow [Verse 2] Across the UK A weary tune From London fog to Scottish dune A cradle of days we used to know Now choked by smoke and bitter snow [Chorus] Oh What's left to stand or fall When the earth itself begins to call Heed the beat of the marching drum A gleam in the gloamin' Time's come undone [Verse 3] The Highland's green now tinged with rust Our castles shatter Turning dust The bread and ale They grow so thin Take heed My kin Our troubles begin [Verse 4] The cities groan beneath the strain As rivers burst and drown the plain The seas encroach upon our land The warnings clear as we stand hand in hand [Chorus] Oh What's left to stand or fall When the earth itself begins to call Heed the beat of the marching drum A gleam in the gloamin' Time's come undone
