Grave Digger - "All For The Kingdom" (lyric video)

I´m a son
of the Clan Maclean
I´m a warrior
skilled to fight
I´m a soldier
for Scotlands pride
I would never give up
before I die

My journey started
long time ago
at Carham I fought
for the king like hell
Many died
at the river Tweed
we won Lothian
blood runs deep

EYE TO EYE AND BACK TO BACK
UNITED WE MARCH READY FOR ATTACK

Malcom the second
called us to arms
Fearless we fought
Till the final breath
Fires burned high
As we forged a kingdom
Triumph he brought
Forever dominion

ALL ALL FOR THE KINGDOM
TOGETHER WE FALL AND FOREVER WE STAND
ALL ALL FOR THE KINGDOM
WE FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT, FOR THE RIGHT TO SURVIVE
FOR THE KING ALL FOR THE LAND
ALL FOR ONE

Το καλοκαίρι του 1996 κυκλοφορούσε το album "Tunes of War", το οποίο ουσιαστικά έβαλε τους Grave Digger στους heavy metal χάρτες (από άποψη αναγνωρισιμότητας εννοώ, γιατί καλλιτεχνικά είχε προηγηθεί το πολύ καλό "Heart of Darkness"). 24 έτη αργότερα οι Γερμανοί metallers ξαναφορούν τα κιλτ και επιστρέφουν στην Σκωτσέζικη κουλτούρα - θεματολογία. Το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα τιτλοφορείται "Fields of Blood" κι αναμένεται στα τέλη Μαΐου...

Chris Boltendahl: «We did it again and put on the kilts... as we always got fascinated by Scotland and its history. For a long time we considered when the right time would be to return to the Highlands, delve into their legends and myths. Our 40th band anniversary seems to be the right occasion for this and so we take you on a trip for the third time... put on the kilts and pull out your swords and axes, follows us to Stirling and Culloden and experience up close Scottish history, up close, authentic and emotional. As William Wallace / Braveheart said: Yes, they may take our lives. But they never take away our freedom!»
