The Red and the Black
Words and music by Michael "Swoop" Zajac. Accompanied by Benjamin "Pilpus" Lacasse on guitar.
Listen friends and I'll sing you a song
of a nation so storied of brave knights so
strong
of mages and fighters who never turn back
who fight to the death for the Red and the
Black.
First came Sir Duncan a brave stalwart knight
invaded by drow, exiled by home
a warrior of Garm who fights for what's right
a mentor, a leader well fit for the throne.
For woe to the foe who crosses the path
of lions clad in the Red and the Black
Take heart if you fight with one by your side
for their prowess and might shall sure turn the
tide.
Next came Sir Da'oud a fiery man
uniting Free Nations from faraway lands
From goblins and trolls to the mighty Erl King
You just can't beat Rhiassan men and women.
For woe to the foe who crosses the path
of lions clad in the Red and the Black
Take heart if you fight with one by your side
for their prowess and might shall sure turn the tide.
Long live Lord Aeston and long may he reign
savior of Cold Springs from Bedlam's dark
taint
defending the Realms whilst under attack
and looking quite good in that infamous hat.
For woe to the foe who crosses the path
of lions clad in the Red and the Black
Take heart if you fight with one by your side
for their prowess and might shall sure turn the tide. | |
