We're off to War!

Post by Erik »

Boldhome now is marching and we're going off to war!
The enemy is sighted, well they won't get very far
We'll smash their shields, we'll break their spears and then we'll shout Hurrah!
The Lunatics aren't coming back to Boldhome!

Great Argrath is our king and he leads us off to fight
The true gods all are with us and they all stand for the light
The enemy will whimper when they gaze upon our might
The Lunatics aren't coming back to Boldhome!

Our walls are strong, our towers are high, our gates are strong as brass
We'll break their teeth within their jaws and shatter them like glass
We'll face them down and tell them that they'll never, ever pass!
The Lunatics aren't coming back to Boldhome!

Dear Brother Erik,

Oh gosh, this jingoism, this warmongering....have you still not seen the virtue of peace and harmony, living in mutual understanding with your fellow man etc? All this talk of breaking people's teeth, shattering jaws and smashing shields! Why do you have such anger inside you? You really need help in dealing with these voices.....I call upon you to allow me to help you, heck you even make mention of the true gods that stand for the light.....well, I'm one of those and I can assure you there is another way from all the violence you continue to espouse, honestly there is!

Brave sir Erik rides off to war
With a squeak and a warble, a howl and a roar.
He sings so loud for all to hear
A din so awful, foes flee in fear!

Anything to scare the enemy and cheer up the troops! Although you have kindly conferred on me a knighthood I do not possess.

Every customer of mine is worthy of a sir with a small 's', but I have every expectation that your deeds will make you deserving of being ennobled by the time the campaign season is over - but for foes slain rather than services to music.

I shall be watching closely when the opportunity arises, as I have transferred to the Royal Foot Guards and Mularik's Regiment will be stationed alongside us in battle.

You know, this is not quite the mention in battlesongs I was expecting.

I have no doubt that will become the Company's new number one marching song.
