Rumours know
That rebellion will break out
Bonnie Prince Charles is in the highlands
To claim his crown no doubt
He raised his Standard at Glenfinnan
Calling to our pride
The Jacobites are gathering
I’ll be at their sideArmed and ready stand
My rights I must defend
Steel is in my handThe clans are marching against the law
Bagpipers play the tunes of war
Death or glory I will find
Rebellion on my mindThe town of Edinburgh
Fell soon in our hands
Defeated the English
At the Battle of Prestonpans
More “Folk Metal”.

Thankfully Mr. Kürsch is wearing boxers under his kilt; scroll near the end if curious why. I don’t think the German’s used to wearing a kilt (nor am I!)
This isn’t my music genre of choice, but Kürsch is incredibly talented. His lyrics tend to be very rad trad as well.
Lately his songs have been for the War of Thrones books / TV series which I’m only partly familiar with. I doubt they’re as valuable for encouraging virtue as are the Lord of the Rings, the Narnia tales, the Braveheart movie, and the like.

The series is ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ and it is terrible..supposedly ‘adult’ fantasy but adult in this context means loads of sex and violence and general vulgarity. Feel free to ignore. I think authors of Tolkien or Lewis’s caliber are extinct.
