At The Cathedral

(album: Letter To America - 2011)

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
Turning 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
