Knights of Eternity
To Scotland's ancient realm
Proud Edward's armies came
To sap our freedom and overwhelm
Our martial forces in shame
It shall not be, brave Wallace cried
It shall not be, his chiefs relied
By the name our fathers gave her
Our steel shall drink the crimson stream
We'll all her dearest right redeem
Our own broadswords shall save her
They come, they come, was the gallant cry
The loud reply
We are knights of eternity
We'll drive them back forever
We'll dare the darkest night of death
We will drive them back
We are knights of eternity
We'll drive them back forever
We'll dare the darkest night of death
Of life
With hopes of triumph flush'd
The squadrons hurried o'er
Thy Bridge Kildean, and heaving rush'd
Like wild waves to the shore
They come, they come, was the gallant cry
The loud reply
We are knights of eternity
We'll drive them back forever
We'll dare the darkest night of death
We will drive them back
We are knights of eternity
We'll drive them back forever
We'll dare the darkest night of death
Of life
All o'er the waving broom
In chivalry and grace
Shone England's radiant spear and plume
By Stirling's rocky base
And stretching far beneath the view
Proud thy banners flew
From right and left the flame
Like lightning came
Daring hearts and fearless hands
Praise, ye gallant band
Who in the face of day
Have cast your chains away
The foemen fell on ev'ry side
In crimson Forth was dyed
While cries triumphant shook the air
Thus shall we do, we dare
Thus shall we do
Shall we dare
It shall not be, no
We are the knights of eternity
