We listened into the Iceage
        A
And we built up man round the Picts
         A        E            F#m
And the daybreak hammered out warning
        D
To the weak

Bridge:
     A               A
Transmitting, transmitting
    D              A
Breaking down the wire

Transmitting, transmitting
  D                A
Breaking down the wire 

(Chorus)

Lyrics
We dreamed on moor with passion
And on the long lochs bluer than eyes
'Till the mists of bygone ages
heard our cries

I've seen us among thousands
All of one name waiting to run
And when the charge came heather on heartbeat
Steel on gun

The old rock leaves us with fossil
back to Christ

As we look out over the morning
And the days of this life's spring
And the joy of Gaelic's lifeblood
Made me sing

Watching your beauty on this journey
With the lick of youth in your eyes
Let us sow this olden heartland
Reap in time
