twisted tongues

[verse 1]

silent screams beneath twisted tongues

speech pressed behind teeth breath robbed fae lungs

in celtic’s heart a dagger was plunged

theses words are the stories of where it begun

a culture since the day o’ skara brae

decay within the change of the way that we say

our names and faces they’ve chained and tamed

with strangers thoughts sustainеd and engrained in our brains

celtic kingdoms and highland clans

clеared by demands of anglish bams

riot act was read with bayonets tae hand

in language scott’s just couldney understand

was the duke of sutherland who would disband

kicking crofters oot their house left evicted fae their land

convicted for their mouth as culture was now banned

causing scott’s tae boost fae hame tae foreign sands

the drovers fished farmed and foraged to sustain

nature nourished the people of these great scottish planes

our natural connection now slit like it’s vains

with the fertility of land beginning tae wane

auld woodland and meadows there are few which remain

with synthetic saturation replacing in shame

fish are now toxic with plastic contained

this lands filled with sheep trained ,docile and tame

if you want to live off the land and sustain through a hunt

well tough luck, that games been made for rich cunts

now we’re eating out others hands as a population of runts

starving tae our deaths wae nae way tae confront

in our hearts were a hardy bunch

cow blood and oats is what we scran and munch

prevailing through gale mist and rain

we’ve got cauld pale skin which is linked tae our names

culture cleansed fae hill and glenn

relation to the land and how we attend

they have tried to end so on them we depend

time and energy’s spent wondering where it’s aw went

now there’s nae community of family clans

they’ve shoved us in schemes and changed us tae bams

with single mothers left begging wae hands

prisons they’ve plotted for more sinister plans

scottish speaking folk there’s gonna be none left

cause they’re turning back tae abuse before they take their last breath

overdosing in baths with an arm full of meth

these schemes seems to be where we’re plotted for our death

the tongue has been severed, hung drawn and quartered

nae wae tae talk through community slaughter

knowledge forgot in talk and what’s taught

nae where to grow through sunlight and water

gaelic didney die but it’s speech was bleached

heritage canny breed wae nae tongue tae teach

aw the lochs aw the rivers drained and leached

tae talk is tae this and scott’s only skreich

[hook]

twisted tongues to contort your thoughts

mangle your mind left tangled in knots

no longer ourselfs but salves that are caught

left in distraught and unable tae talk

twisted tongues with minds in knots

suppression of speech to control our thoughts

logic and reason should be how we’re taught

but nae roots in our land so we’re left out tae rot

[verse 2]

who placed our land in distant hands?

who raises the demand on the land that we stand

demands by commands of foreign hands

nae relation to the peoples place to understand

never forget the stories told

o’ being bought and sold for english gold

now watch and behold the same shite unfold

it makes sense that we feel there’s nae control

scotland’s just an asset for the wealthy folk tae hold

400 folk out the population own 1/3 of land that exists in the nations

whilst natives and migrants they sit in frustration

right to roam but nae right tae our homes

evicted tenants ae our countries and all the space that they’ve taken

this country consumed by foreign powers

here for thousands of years yet nothing is ours

if you’re seen speaking in scott’s you’re met wae a scowers

but we bloom wae our thorns cause the thistle our flower

nae chance ae a clan wae oot commun unity

robbed national identity from you and me

our anger they’ve aimed at those just the same

to not leave their sources to shame under scrutiny

speaking to expose these parcel o rogues

who hope our land is left erode and corroded

the government responsible for foreign bombs exploded

and pushed people like us fae their homes left them goaded

now dal riata lays deed from a tumour

our history grim and it keeps getting gloomer

but we prevail wae a dark sense ae humour

about pedos in power the media make rumour

their fossil lies has culture fossilised

capital lies so they can capitalise

generalised with their general lies

then radicalised with their radical lies

to keep the

civilised under civil lies

the sinful plans the elites devise

predatory parasites who blind your sight

and steel your rights in shite they wright

administered by demons in west minister

who act against divinity to inject something sinister

news media the used to confuse and blur

with the anger of the poor they love to stir

berated by bloody bias bastard

their dastardly tactics tae make us aw spastics

the stories they serve are the most absurd

distort and divid through contorted words

they love to pretend that it’s the poor they defend

but in reality all they want is for folk tae depend

so they control what u watch what you eat and what you spend

who you love who you hate who you wish to make friend

their legislation prevents free thought and creation

twisting to silencing any demonstration

if it wasn’t enough to worry about the gas and leaky

now you watch your words in case you call someone specy

who give the words which sit in your ear

the voices of control through anxiety and fear

who gets to be the arbiters of truth

and control the very words that creep out your mouth

[hook]

twisted tongues to contort your thoughts

mangle your mind left tangled in knots

no longer ourselfs but salves that are caught

left in distraught and unable tae talk

twisted tongues with minds in knots

suppression of speech to control our thoughts

logic and reason should be how we’re taught

but nae roots in our land so we’re left out tae rot

[verse 3]

so many attempts to change the talk of the scott’s

but you ken you’re one if yo u ae and you awch

if you love the hills tae glen, rivers lochs

the houses or worship and castle stone blocks

i guess we’re yet to learn our lesson cause

scott’s never shiver in the face of oppression

we battle oppressors who view us as lesser

ready for war but never the aggressor

the romans never climb hadrian’s waw

battling piccts and gaels they surely would faw

sent running back hame and away tae their maws

afraid ae the size of the scottish baws

we’re rock and stone tae a hammer

dinny gee a fuck about the grammar

so we chuck out our slanders at the cunts who would pander

we talk through the land to our one true commander

these words aren’t exclusive to the nation of scott

many cultures and tongues have been rott and forgot

irish, welsh and north england enaw

all the victims of slavery war and distraught

nae mare north, south west and east

let’s share minds and find our lapping beliefs

be conscious of the words which we put through our teeth

and stand against those who are fuelled by our greif

we should be the brothers keepers of asylum seekers

expressing collective morals tae draw others nearer

those without view, help to find the clues

disconnected youth, guide them tae their roots

ruak fae lung to mouth tongue and tooth

speak the mind of devine through reason and truth

fighting for our liberty without tire or truce

we never stand down to tyrany and our history our proof

this nation doesn’t spew victims in the face of oppression

we fight for freedom of expressions with might and aggression

our vulgar tongue may need some discretion

but what do you expect amongst the mess and the stressing

give me liberty or give me deaths

for i shall never bite my tongue or hawd my breath

for freedom i fight until there fuck aw left

expressing words in depth that come fae the chest

my courage as a scott shall never die

denny the rule of man through our tongues we defy

serving only 1 king who lays in the sky

as long as these hills stand tall then so shall i

sea tae air stone tae loam

power from our home as a gate to the trinity

father son and spirit creating unity through infinity

our tongue, our culture, are the ladders to divinity
