Stone Of Destiny Lyrics - Singles - Mcdonald Steve

In the curragh and off we go 

O'er to Scotland's shores we row 

And build a chapel there 

For the Stone. 

Story tells of long ago 

Jacob slept upon the Stone. 

And dreamed of angels 

Telling him of the future. 

Brought to Ireland's Tara Hill 

Where it was named Lia-Fail 

Then, on to Iona, by MacEarca. 

(Chorus) 

Then the Scotland kings will reign 

Wherever the Stone remains. 

Then, the coronations will enthrone. 

And through all who come and go 

Let nonetake the power 

Of the Stone. 

So the telling tale unfolds 

Of kings and queens 

And days of old. 

And those who would make claim 

By agression. 

Then the tyrant army came 

And took the Stone away again. 

They never knew the promise 

Of succession. 

Leaves are falling 

Seasons calling 

Time will wait 

For the Stone. 

Leaves are falling 

Seasons calling 

Time will wait 

For the Stone. 

(Repeat chorus twice)
