Song Lyrics:

JACOBITE


The Murderous ring of steel on steel
The highland cry, the praying wheel
In rosy white, the shadows come
The English sentry overrun

We’ll kiss all the girls at noon
We’ll march to a rebel drum
There’s blood in the eye of the moon
No regret in the songs of the sun

The clinking of the smuggler’s wares
The devil finds you unprepared
Black money runs, the knotted noose
The whining gate, the prisoner loose

What is it now, this wrangling?
Who can speak for the worth of a king?
Come tell me how this schism unfolds
The world of the meek and the blood on the gold

Shadowy prayers and subterfuge
The priestly lust for fire and deluge
Armies at angles, meeting head on
Logic in shambles and sanity gone

We’ll kiss all the girls at noon
We’ll march to a rebel drum
There’s blood in the eye of the moon
No regret in the songs of the sun

A deposition, the theft of a throne
A yielded position, a chill on the bone
The fight to a standstill, young boys in the field
This blot on our history, this cleft in the shield

We’ll kiss all the girls at noon
We’ll march to a rebel drum
There’s blood in the eye of the moon
No regret in the songs of the sun

This bloody perversion, doomed to repeat
This cancerous dance, this song of defeat
This act of coercion, this theft of our youth
Religious angst, our gospel of truth
We’ll kiss all the girls at noon
We’ll march to a rebel drum
There’s blood in the eye of the moon
No regret in the songs of the sun
