[Chorus]
Standing proud the Celtic Race,
Never feared the foe to face,
Scot and Irish we are one,
We're Celts, we're Celts, we will fight on.
[Verse]
William Wallace sword in hand,
Fought to free his home and land,
Hugh O'Neill and Eoghan Roe,
On Ulster's hills they fought the foe.
England the ancient enemy,
Took with force our liberty,
Tried to destroy our freedom's cause,
With cruel and oppressive foreign laws.
[Chorus]
Standing proud the Celtic Race,
Never feared the foe to face,
Scot and Irish we are one,
We're Celts, we're Celts, we will fight on.
[Verse]
In the Highland, every clan,
Fought the Sassanach to man,
Crofters whipped out from their homes,
In foreign lands were forced to roam.
England saw the great starvation,
A way to destroy the Irish nation,
Eviction, famine and disease,
Brought the Irish people to their knees.
[Chorus]
Standing proud the Celtic Race,
Never feared the foe to face,
Scot and Irish we are one,
We're Celts, we're Celts, we will fight on.
[Verse]
Our histories are twisted like the rope,
That hung around many a rebel throat,
Resistance rising through the years,
We've lost good men, shed floods and tears.
It's time for England a truth to face,
They will never defeat the Celtic Race,
Scot and Irish we are one,
Our people, our culture, our Gaelic tongue.
[Chorus]
Standing proud the Celtic Race,
Never feared the foe to face,
Scot and Irish we are one,
We're Celts, we're Celts, we will fight on.
[Verse]
For as long as there shall be
One hundred men with hearts that's free,
Our consent we'll never give,
To British dominion while we live.
Glory, honour, truth or right,
Are not the reasons Celts do fight,
For freedom alone that we contend,
But for this we struggle should our life's end.
[Chorus]
Standing proud the Celtic Race,
Never feared the foe to face,
Scot and Irish we are one,
We're Celts, we're Celts, we will fight on.
