[Verse 1] By the burn and the stone He stood alone Salt in the air Blood on his cloak A farmer's son With a lion's throat He learned the weight Of a broken oath [Verse 2] He watched the fields Where the young men fell He heard the chains In the castle bell Then he rose up hard Like a blackbird flame And the whole wild glen Knew his name [Pre-Chorus] Hands to the sword Eyes to the hill The entire world Became so still No crown above Just a people free Standing united Against the tyranny [Chorus] Freedom in the blood Freedom in the bones Wallace stood strong Against whatever comes Love in the fight For the ones at home Wallace fought hard His will made of stone [Verse 3] He led like fire Through rain and mud Not for gold But for kin and blood When fear came close He did not bend He turned that fear Into a friend [Verse 4] He'd lift a man When the night got long Teach the weak heart How to stay strong With a steady word And a battle cry He made good men Stand up high [Pre-Chorus] Hands to the sword Eyes to the hill Whatever comes He'll break it's will No chains, no fear Just a man who knows That when evil comes War is what it's shown [Chorus] Freedom in the blood Freedom in the bones Wallace stood strong Against whatever comes Love in the fight For the ones at home Wallace wouldn't break His spirit as stone [Bridge] If the hill burned red He burned brighter still If the odds were many He became the will For every brother For every bride He fought like a storm With love inside [Final Chorus] Freedom in the blood Freedom in the bones Wallace stood firm Against the English will Love in the fight For the ones at home Wallace fought till the end But his legend lives on
