Raise the Green Flag

Songtext

[Intro] Ho—rum, ho—rum, the hills awake Boots on the earth, the valley shakes [Verse 1] By the old stone bridge where the river turns We raise our hands while the torchlight burns From the western field to the harbor wall One heartbeat rising, hear the people call [Pre-Chorus] Gather close, don't let it fade Every promise that we made When the first drum strikes the ground Turn around, we're all unbound [Chorus] Raise the green flag high tonight Carry the fire, carry the light From every shore, from every town We lift the ancient thunder now Hey-oh, hey-oh, let the whole land sing Hey-oh, hey-oh, feel the wild wind swing [Verse 2] Mara's red scarf flies above the crowd Old Finn laughs, and the pipes ring loud Rain on the jacket, mud on the shoe Nothing can break what we're coming through [Pre-Chorus] Gather close, don't let it fade Every promise that we made When the first drum strikes the ground Turn around, we're all unbound [Chorus] Raise the green flag high tonight Carry the fire, carry the light From every shore, from every town We lift the ancient thunder now Hey-oh, hey-oh, let the whole land sing Hey-oh, hey-oh, feel the wild wind swing [Bridge] Stone remembers, water knows Seed beneath the winter grows Hand in hand and shoulder wide We meet the morning side by side [Final Chorus] Raise the green flag high tonight Carry the fire, carry the light From every shore, from every town We lift the ancient thunder now Hey-oh, hey-oh, let the whole land sing Hey-oh, hey-oh, feel the wild wind swing Hey-oh, hey-oh, louder than before Hey-oh, hey-oh, open every door [Outro] Ho—rum, ho—rum, the hills awake One shared pulse beneath the earth we make
