1. ann toll dubh
taobh cuil an doruis cha bhi grian
suidh aig bord
cha bhi biadh 's cha bhi fion
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
an gaidheal 'sa leabaidh
an gaidheal 'sa shuain
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
thainig e a sasainn ann
thainig e
le eachaibh luath is iuchair throm
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
an gaidheal 'sa leabaidh
an gaidheal 'sa shuain
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
air lar 'san toll dhubh cha bhi grian
cha bhi gealach
's dubh a oidhche chaidleas sinn
le eachaibh luath is iuchair throm
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian
an gaidheal 'sa leabaidh
an gaidheal 'sa shuain
le eiginn ar n-eirigh as ar suian

4. recovery
watching the morning come in on the land
see the moon roll over skeabost
see the young men late in the glen
all with camans in hand
sea winds out on the wilds
sea waves crash onto uig
see the black homes strung out on a line
across the island of skye
should have been home before daylight
but it's not easy when you're down and hungry
one man from the late run rolled up in a coat
i make my way across the moor
for a late summer in '84
but now there's a new day dawning
i've heard the braes men talk in portree
the news from glendale
still the morning comes in on the land
see the new sun red and rising
see the corn turn ripe in the fields
see the growth of the glen
and macpherson's in kilmuir tonight
what a night for a people rising
oh god not before time
there's justice in our lives
and i can't believe
that it's taken all this time
i can't believe
my life and my destiny
after the clans, after the clearings
here i am
recovering

6.'s tu mo leannan /
nightfall on marsco
nightfall on marsco
cuchullin in sheets
this world of maclean's words
around us like sprits released
i came to love you
i came to drink
though dancing in darkness
i'm cup running over and drunk
darkest of prisons
oldest of nights
for the dawning round of garsbheinn
in patience we wait for the light
i am a climber
i am a thief
oh kingdom of gabbro
your strong chains won;t hold this love
's tu mo leannan, leannan o
's tu mo leannan, leannan o
's tu mo leannan, 's tu mo leannan
's tu mo leannan, leannan o

8. fuaim a bhlair
fuaim a' bhlair, ceol a' chogaidh
an guth 's an naire
air cluasan eachdraidh
sgith dh'an bhlar, sgith dh'an chogadh
an t'eallach 's an cradh
air gualainn eachdraidh
blàr non gaidheal, an gaidheal 's an codagh
an fhuil 's am bas
air braighean eachdraidh
fuaim a' bhlair, ceol a' chogaidh
an guth 's an naire
air cluasan eachdraidh
saidhdear mi sa' fhraing 's sa ghearmailt
saidhdear mi air raointean chanada
saidhdear mi san spàinn san eadailt
saidhdear mi 'nam aghaidh fhein an eirinn

10. the old boys
the old boys
are all leaving
leaving one by one
where young birds go flying
spread your wings and run
but over the fields
by the dry stone walls
an eagle will come no more
welcome
were the headlands
st valery behind
no medals worth wasting
on memories of sand
but sweet is the breeze
over raasay
the morning awaits you there
what kind
of heroes
here for us now
where leaders, stone preachers
minnows on flow
but low hang the lights
over viewfield
and this night will day see no more
chorus
11. dust
so lead me to the river
blood runs thicker than the water
wrap me in your sheets together
where my earth heart lies forever
the lowland scot with English habits
has brought me to his lowland manners
no they can't understand
the hole that is in my heart
i've lived my life here with the others
i long to live with you, my brothers,
and my drum will beat this day
pounding for the gael
an end to sighs, all hands unite
in the spring that lies behind this sorrow
deep the faith and pure the light
that shines inside and guides your people
oh i do believe
dust will turn the seed home
