Let them feel yir steel
Through mud and blood and frozen fields
Yir broken bones will heal
Jacobite yae came sae faur
Let them feel yir steel
Yince there wis a heiland lad
A simple life had he
Will yae march wi' me?
Settin' oot faur southern land
Foreign soil tae me
Cut oor way through the mire
And on tae victory
Jacobite yae came sae faur
Let them feel yir steel
Twenty miles a day on foot
A hard and painful slog
Wind and rain, sleet and snaw
Trudgin' through the bogs
Faur a chance tae engage
A butcher and his lord
Cut them doon one by one
And pit them tae the sword
Jacobite yae came sae faur
Let them feel yir steel
A year has past since yae left
Yir hame deep in the glen
Noo yae staun a warrior
Wi' ten thousand men
Open up yir battle cry
Let yir slogan ring
Cut them doon one by one
Yir prince becomes a king
Jacobite yae came sae faur
Let them feel yir steel
Jacobite yae faut sae well
And fell wi' dignity
Better die a warrior
Noble wild and free
Better die a warrior
Noble wild and free
Than live a life o' slavery bereft o' liberty
Than live a life o' slavery bereft o' liberty
The song "Ghosts" by SONS is a powerful ode to the Scottish people who stood up for their beliefs and fought for their freedom. The song tells the story of a group of Jacobite soldiers who march south to fight against their oppressors. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery, describing the harsh conditions of the soldiers' journey through mud, blood, frozen fields, and bogs. The chorus "Jacobite yae came sae faur, let them feel yir steel" is a call to arms, a reminder that they have come a long way to fight for their cause and that they should not give up now.
The verses of the song tell the story of a young Highlander who joins the Jacobite cause and marches south with his fellow soldiers. They endure harsh conditions, walking twenty miles a day on foot, facing wind, rain, sleet, and snow, all for a chance to engage with the enemy. The song reaches its climax when the soldiers finally engage in battle and emerge victorious, with their prince crowned king. However, the song also acknowledges the fact that not everyone who fought for their cause survived, and those who fell did so with dignity, as noble warriors who would rather die than live a life of slavery without liberty.
In summary, "Ghosts" is a stirring tribute to the Scottish people's fight for freedom, embodying the spirit of resistance that has defined Scottish history. The song powerfully evokes a sense of pride and resilience, serving as a powerful reminder of the struggles that the Scottish people have endured and overcome.

@thenondualisticmystic
i am the liar
i am the thief
i'll kill all your precious beliefs
you've managed to lose all respect for yourself
so i'm here to take advantage
of your poor mental health
you could be forgetting how to breathe
or i could be
sucking the life out of you
i don't love my own self near enough
find me a shoulder with a chip set in place
a heart that's been hardened by grace
a torturous soul that is searching for rest
looking for shelter to weather the mess
you could be forgetting how to breathe
or i could be sucking the life out of you
i don't love my own self near enough
i'm giving in to a love that sustains
all the brokenness inside of me has turned into shame
i'm giving in to depravity's draw
if you wanna conquer me, then you have got to think small.
find yourself in the narrows of places where no one can find
banishing yourself into the darkness, you've nothing to hide
come you weary, breathe in the aroma, forgiveness is here
you've been given life now and forever: stop living within all your fears
better breathe in deep
you'll finally find the answers
(you could be forgetting how to breathe
you could be better without me)
it's never too late.
