Sir William Wallace a legend that will never die.
Sir William Wallace fought and died.
The son of scotland betrayed by lies.
He slayed and prayed to earn are freedom.
But was made to lay the path of his gravestone.
Stirling Bridge held the key.
To victory for all to see.
Little did the English know.
How far we were willing to go.
After being on the battlefield all he wanted was peace.
All this war. Blood sweat and tears he wanted it to cease.
Yet his own people betrayed him. Eventually being caught. All he wanted was Scotlands independence. For him his freedom looked slim.
He is our Scottish stalwart a patriot just the same.
Being hung drawn and quartered predictably came.
It did not have the desired effect longshanks had predicted.
Over the many years his soul still fights for Scottish independence.
Only then when we have it will his spirit rest easy on earth and in heaven.
