Unconquered

Blue face paint, known as woad
Marked our faces as warriors
With a fearsome reputation
Fighting machines, well oiled
No understanding of surrender
Never flew a white flag
Never showed any fear
Protecting our lands and people
Against all comers
Even the might
Of the Roman Empire
Could not conquer us
Even with the rest of
Britain enslaved
We were invincible
They built a wall
To keep us in
Too scared to attack
These naked warriors
These crazy highlanders
This Pictish hoard
No surrender, no retreat
A proud nation
Never been conquered
The shrill of the pipes
Still makes the hairs
On the back of my neck
Stand to attention
Bonnie Scotland
Bonnie Scots
Always up for a fight
As long as the cause
Is righteous
