This song appears on the DVD/Video Instrument of War: Ladies from Hell

I hear the voice, I hear the war

I hear the sound, on a distant shores

I feel the spirit, of yesterday

I touch the past, when the Piper’s play.

The pipes get played, for you and me

They kept on saying, we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

The piobrach hears, its deadly cry

On some will live and some will die

And though they fought so far away

I feel the presence when the pipers play

The pipes kept playing, for you and me

They kept on saying, we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

It speaks of love, I have lost

Its speaks of my eternal cost

It speaks the price I refused to pay

Of lives remembered, when the Pipers play

We will remember when the pipers play

Pipes Playing

The pipes kept playing, for you and me

They kept on saying we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

The pipes kept playing, for you and me

They kept on saying we’ll soon be free

And your soul, will never fade away

You live forever, when the piper’s play

Burlington Firefighters Pipes and Drums

Pipeband

The Burlington Firefighters Pipes and Drums was started in November of 2007 following the line-of-duty-death of Burlington fire fighter Wayne Topping. It was at his funeral that a small group of members from the Burlington Fire Department saw the need, and interest, in having a pipe and drum band of its own. Why a pipe and drum band? To quote Rick Lasky, Fire Chief of Lewisville Texas, it is about “Duty, Honour and Pride”, it is about “honouring our brothers and sisters, our families both in the fire house and at home”, “and the time to honour them is now, while they are here, while they can hear it.” Enlisting the vast knowledge and experience of Captain and Pipe Major Jeff Swance, with assistance from Special Constable and Pipe Sergeant Jeff Redford, Acting Captain and Pipe Corporal Dan Everett and retired Captain and Drum Sergeant Gary Humes, a group of approximately 20 members began lessons in Great Highland piping and Highland drumming. None, but the instructors had any experience in piping or drumming. Some members had no musical experience at all.
