On this day the Realm rings

with the song this bard sings

of Kovaks; Count not king

With thier skills did save us

Defeat of snakes, they gave us


REFRAIN:

Id-e-o-o-o, id-e-o-o-os,

Id-e-o Vic-to-RI...a con-spec-tu Deos!



Strategize, sift thru lies

Research done, check supplies 

Gather up the Allies 

Nerves be high, Vis-ion mo' 

Ducks were lined, in a Row.


At the dam, Snakes did wait

Planning a watery fate

David Red, Checked then Mate

Militia, He did order

Flanked them from the border


REFRAIN


Serpintine, were the caves

Face the snakes , Very brave

Use those spells , Do not save

Push to City Sorbus

Shields and pikes defend us


Dagger shown, You won't last

Unto Tony it did pass

Champ'ion stabbed in the ass

better fate, undeserv'ed.

God Rexan, unnerv'ed


REFRAIN


God Strike Bomb we did build 

Rexan's belly to be filled

Massive heads we did kill 

Rexan's fate was see-aled

God Flesh make bad mee-al


~~(needs more garlic salt)~~


REFRAIN


Gods did meet, all could see

Garm call forth, Count to be

Bound the soul complet-ly

As the Land, They'll shield us

Kind Kovaks, will lead us 


Barons two, must decide

King decreed, Kovaks sighed

Barons *Three*, at their side

Squad goal were exceeded

Treaty laws were heeded. 


REFRAIN


Trees weave in, Branch twine out

Grow that bridge nice and stout

Gaia's Blessings, Twen did shout

Style and Safety they deliver'd

Now all may cross the river.


All of y'all, Clear debris

Mayumi, plans city

Tarnisha, Car-pen-try 

Vic'try o'er, As-pis reel ((real))

Put away, anxious feels


REFRAIN


First we dive, then we cave

Soldiers felled for to save 

Kovaks push, none misplaced 

Call the soul, raise them up 

Many saved, raise your cup 


One year past, Cel-e-brate

Airborne tours 'Round the state 

Solemn church, con-tem-plate 

Dif-fer-ence made isn't small

Darkvale hills, standing Tall


[*Slow*] Darkvale hills, standing Tall
