The Clansmen Songtext
von Iron Maiden

Wake alone in the hills
With the wind in your face
It feels good to be proud
And be free and a race that is part of a clan
To live on highlands
The air that you breathe
So pure and so clean

When alone on the hills
With the wind in your hair
And a longing to feel
Just to be free

Is it right to believe
In the need to be free
It′s a time when you die
And without asking why
Why can't you see what they do
They are grinding us down
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans


Not alone with a dream
Just a want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a clansman

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

It′s a time wrought with fear
It's a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear what is happening now
They would turn in their graves
They would all be ashamed
Land of the free has written in chains

And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman


And I swear to defend
I′ll fight to the end
Know that I′ll never be taken alive
I know that we'll stand
I′ll fight for the land
I swear that my bairns
Will be born free

And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

No, no we can′t let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We′re the land of the free
No hey, no we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We′re the land of the free

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

Is it right to believe
In the need to be free
It′s a time when you die
And without asking why
Why can't you see what they do
They are grinding us down
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans

Not alone with a dream
Just a want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a clansman

And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I′ll take what is mine
I am the clansman

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom

I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman
