[Intro – distorted guitar riff, distant bagpipe drone] Wind screams through the craggy stone Bagpipes wail the old tone [Verse 1 – heavy guitar chords, marching snare] I grew up where the heather blooms Where the old songs cut through the gloom A fire burns beneath my skin Every beat pulls me back again [Pre-Chorus – building guitar, rising bagpipe melody] The drums they pound, the pipes they cry I can’t outrun this restless sky Every bone in my body knows It’s time to let the old fire grow [Chorus – full band, soaring bagpipe lead, gritty vocals] Storm over the highlands, let the thunder roll We carry the old ways in our very soul Guitar strings scream and the bagpipes blow We’re never gonna let this fire go [Verse 2 – bluesy guitar licks, steady drum beat] I’ve walked the roads of distant towns Heard the whispers of the crown But my heart stays where the wild winds blow Where the old clan banners used to grow [Pre-Chorus – intensified guitar, layered bagpipes] The drums they pound, the pipes they cry I can’t outrun this restless sky Every bone in my body knows It’s time to let the old fire grow [Chorus – doubled vocals, heavier guitar, bagpipe harmony] Storm over the highlands, let the thunder roll We carry the old ways in our very soul Guitar strings scream and the bagpipes blow We’re never gonna let this fire go [Solo – blistering electric guitar, bagpipe countermelody] (Instrumental Solo) [Bridge – stripped-back acoustic guitar, soft bagpipe hum] They tried to chain our ancient voice Tried to drown our choice But the pipes still sing when the sun goes down We’re still here, we’re still around [Chorus – full band explosion, maximum intensity] Storm over the highlands, let the thunder roll We carry the old ways in our very soul Guitar strings scream and the bagpipes blow We’re never gonna let this fire go [Outro – fading guitar, single bagpipe note] Wind fades through the craggy stone Bagpipes hum the old tone
