FREEDOM'S FLAME by IdaOklaLina

The English banners wave across the glen  
They think they've broken every Scottish son  
But when I close my eyes, it's you I see again  
Your gentle hands, your fire—my only kingdom won

**[Chorus]**  
Oh, my love, my FREEDOM, my wild and beating heart  
You are the reason I still fight when all is torn apart  
In your eyes I found a home worth dying for  
Take my soul, take my breath, I am forever yours  
Through the blood and the fire, through the chains and the pain  
I'll carry your name like a torch in the rain  
My love... my love...  
You are my FREEDOM'S flame

**[Verse 2]**  
They painted your face with the dirt of the field  
Took your laughter, tried to steal your light  
But even in the darkest hour, you refused to yield  
You taught this warrior how to love beneath the fight

I remember nights beneath the stars so wide  
Your head upon my chest, the world so far away  
We spoke of futures we might never see  
Yet in your arms, I was already free

**[Bridge]**  
If tomorrow brings the arrows and the spears  
If my body falls upon this sacred ground  
Know that every drop of blood I bleed  
Was for the love we built when no one else was 'round

I was never brave until you looked at me  
Never whole until your hand slipped into mine  
They can take the land, they can break the tree  
But they’ll never take this heart that calls you mine

**[Final Chorus – softer, then building]**  
Oh, my love, my FREEDOM, my wild and beating heart  
Even when the battle ends and we are worlds apart  
In your eyes I still see heaven’s open door  
Hold me close, hold me true, forevermore  
Through the blood and the fire, through the chains and the pain  
I’ll meet you again where the wild roses reign  
My love... my love...  
You are my FREEDOM'S flame

My love...  
You are my FREEDOM'S flame

**[Verse 1]** I stand upon this high and lonely hill Where the wind still whispers names of those we lost My claymore rests beside me, cold and still But my heart, it burns for you, no matter what the cost The English banners wave across the glen They think they've broken every Scottish son But when I close my eyes, it's you I see again Your gentle hands, your fire—my only kingdom won **[Chorus]** Oh, my love, my FREEDOM, my wild and beating heart You are the reason I still fight when all is torn apart In your eyes I found a home worth dying for Take my soul, take my breath, I am forever yours Through the blood and the fire, through the chains and the pain I'll carry your name like a torch in the rain My love... my love...
