Verse
Walk 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 high lands
And the air that you breathe
So pure and so clean
Guitar 1 Intro, Part 3
All alone in the hills
With the wind in your hair
With a longing to feel
Just to be free
Verse
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
Guitar 1 Intro, Part 3
Not alone with a dream
Just a want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a Clansman
Bridge
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Heavy Verse
It’s a time wrought with fear
It’s a land wrought with change
If ancestors could hear what is happening now
They would turn in their graves
They would all be ashamed
That the land of the free
Was written in chains
Heavy Chorus
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I’ll take what is mine
I am the Clansman
Heavy Verse
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
We’ll fight for our land
And I swear that my bairns
Will be born free
Heavy Chorus
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I’ll take what I want
I am the Clansman
Bridge
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
