 Lyrics :
Down from  the glen came  the marching  men
with their  shields and their  swords
to  fight  the fight they believed  to be right
to  overthrow  their overlords.
 To the town where there was plenty
 they brought plunder, swords and flame
 when they left the town was empty
 children would never play again.
 (can't remember 3'rd verse)
 The bridges in the song are based on simple scale patterns, and aren't too
 hard to work out. The solo is also fairly easy-ish, but requires a lot of
 work to tab and learn (so is not included here - I'm lazy)
