about

True story: the outro part of this song ("from the strength of my forefathers..." was written to feature in a Dungeons & Dragons session I was running sometime around 2003. It was performed by a bard going into battle, called Devin.

lyrics

See them charge forth
Fall like rain as men die
Now they lay waste
Storm the walls, take the prize

It has just begun
No glory yet, more blood to shed
For honour won
An old code, fear be gone

In battle concludes
Can only end in triumph

Sword, raised o'er head
Battlement fell to me
Tears burn my eyes
For the King the day is won

From the strength of my forefathers strike down the enemy
Tho' I may fall today, I die with my pride
Under a sun that provides me a symphony
Music to my ears, draw inspiration

Join me my comrades as one
Stand together there's work to be done
Join me my comrades as one
Fight together, our blades in union

Handed down from my father to me
Courage runs in my family
Hold fast to the path that I seek
No regrets I'll finish …this deed

Surely they can’t be serious? ... more
