Some lessons come full circle.
Aye, that's right, we're Scottish, and you know we stand for things.
We've ridden roughshod over many long-forgotten kings.

We held the Roman's swift advance, that's why our roads aren't straight
We bore the Vikings fiery wrath, then left them to their fate.

We fought our battles in the nude, beat order with sheer force
but in the end they sussed us out, and teamwork won, of course.

So these days, we drink away, clinging to times gone by.
We wait for dawn to break through that forever cloudy sky.
