I heard this song on the ThistleRadio stream and it grabbed my heart. Yes, written about Mary Queen of Scots and yet speaks to today’s events rather chillingly.
We give our might to men who take it as their own
And in our name destroy with every thrown stone
We stand the simple fools we watch them break it down
But the stolen voice lies silent it cannot make a soundBut, Mary, I can feel your pain
I can hear your heart breaking
On the silent fields of Fotheringay
I can hear your heart breaking
Interesting interview with Dougie MacLean here.
