about

Atmospheric story of a Scottish wartier.

lyrics

Gatherin’ (“The Dream”)

The heather cushions my every step as I wander through the valleys of my homelands
It’s a morning like any other except on this one I stop and sit down
The ground feels soft and warm
As I lie back pausing to reflect on those who many years ago lived among these very hills
I’m overcome with an enormous feeling of belonging
I clutch the grass growing by my side and as my grip tightens
Every part of my body is consumed by tension
The same tension I imagine that gripped those who fought here shaping my country’s history
I close my eyes

In the distance I hear screams and battle-cries, and the sound of pipe and drums
Calling men from all walks of life to the battle, a battle for freedom
Like brothers they unite and become one
A mighty force on a quest to defend everything that is of value and worth to their people
Not honours, nor glory, nor riches
But the freedom of their homelands in entirety
The Islands, the mainland, together as one. One Scotland
