iron maiden
the clansman
Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face It feels good to be proud And be free and a race That is part of a clan And to live on highlands And the air that you breathe So pure and so clean  When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel  Just to be free  Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans  Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman  Freedom  It's a time wrought with fear It's a land wrought with change  Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free Has been written in chains And I know what I want  When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman  And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never Be taken alive And I know that we'll stand And we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free  And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what I want I am the clansman  Freedom  And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman  No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free Freedom  Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans  Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman   And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman  Freedom
