Today at the cathedral they read out their names
Just like they've done for a thousand years
And a thousand years before
I'm not William Wallace
I'm not Robert the Bruce
I am just an English boy embarrassed by the truth
Today at the cathedral they read out their names
And the bitter wind blew through me, some things never change
They took away their country
Laid the clans to waste
And left a land of heroes
Turnin' in their graves
Today at the cathedral they read out their names
Sarah, John, Richard, and Paul
God bless them all
God bless William Wallace
God bless Robert Bruce
God bless the voice of freedom
God bless the voice of truth
Today at the cathedral they read out their names
Just like they've done for a thousand years
And a thousand years before
God bless them all
God bless them all
