Ah, my friends! So light of foot. So swift. You have come this far. And now - here beneath the   ancient, omniscient boughs of the Decision Tree - one of you must depart this world of flesh.   Only seven may continue. Only you can decide...      [barbarian]   let it be known I won't be the one to die here   honour and glory are heaped upon my name   let it be clear I'm not the one who cries here   what about the tall one, the one who's lost to shame      [highlander]   I've followed princes, I've raised their bloody banners   I've killed and wounded on the side of right   I've reaped the harvest, scattered fields with ashes   I've buried children, sowed the seeds of hate      [all (chorus:)]   we're alive   we'll survive   we will strike for   our freedom   we're alive   we'll survive   we'll arrive in our   eden      [highlander]   I've followed princes   I've followed kings   I will take their lead no   more   I will not lie   in shallow graves   (I'm nobody's slave)      [barbarian]   let it be known, by Thor the god of lightning   I have been chosen to do battle at his side   let it be clear I was born to go down fighting   what about the craven, the one who's lost his pride      [highlander]   don't speak to me of homour, pride and glory   I've tasted blood, seen your type before   you talk of battle but all you tell are stories   you'd see me buried in a shallow grave      [all (chorus), highlander]
