歌词

[00:02.472] Here at the world's end, on its last inch of liberty, we have lived unmolested to this day defended by our remoteness and obscurity.
[00:16.207] But there are no other tribes to come, nothing but sea and cliffs.
[00:22.602] And these more deadly Romans whose arrogance you cannot escape by obedience and self-restraint, to plunder, butcher, steal.
[00:33.240] These things they misname empire, they make a desolation and they call it peace.
[00:48.613] Of course, Calgacus never said any such thing.
[00:51.711] This was a speech written long after the event by Tacitus and it's entirely Roman, not Scottish.
[00:58.576] Yet this burning sentiment would echo down the generations.
[01:02.638] Like Britannia itself, the idea of free Caledonia was from the first, a Roman invention.
[01:11.613] There was one emperor, Spanish by birth, who understood that even the world's biggest empire needed to know its limits.
[01:18.770] And he of course was destined, in Britain at any rate, to be remembered by a wall.
