>The call went out for fighting men, The wariors of the star.
>To battlr bold Trimaris the came from near and far.
>They gave their hearts, They gave their blood, They gave their very best.
>The challange it was great but they were equal to the test.
>The Warriors of Ansteorra are heros brave and bold.
>Many hero's deeds were done that day.  Too many to be told.
>
>It was a long day of hard fighting, one battle yet remained.
>One challange to be conqured if victory would be gained.
>Deep in the wood three banners stood.
>Two must be held to win the fight.
>The day was long, the warriors weary, but their heArts were strong and
>spirits light.
>The numbers were against them by at least two score or more.
>But their courage was undaunted.  They'd beat these odds before.
>Each Kingdom was detirmined to hold it's banner at all cost.
>It was the banner in the middle where the battle would be won or lost.
>The battle was long and weariness took a heavy toll.
>The time was quickly comming when they must move to seize the goal.
>Trimaris held the center banner.  Victory was in their grasp.
>A wall of wariors stood to guard it.  A Wall they knew we could not pass.
>Ansteorra gathered at it's banner.  Weariness on every face.
>They saw the great host of Trimaris.  They saw the wall they had to face.
>Then Othar spoke unto the host, "listen to me one and all."
>"Listen to me while I tell you how we're going to break that wall!"
>He spoke of charges he had made, of Shield-Walls shattered they were told.
>He spoke and told how Ansteorra broke the walls in days of old.
>He spoke and taught And planned that charge till every warrior knew their
>part.
>He spoke of Ansteorras glories till a Lion roared in every heart.
>The time had come to end that battle.  One last charge to sieze the day!
>Every heart fixed on the banner, less than a hundred feet away.
>They hit that wall with a Lion's Spirit!  Ricardo! was their battle cry!
>Every warrior was of one heart, to win the banner or fall and die.
>The foemen could not face their fury and fell beneth their fierce
>onslaught.
>And Ansteorra Siezed that Banner, the prize for which they all had fought!
>But victory had come too soon.  Trimaris' host was strong and large.
>Before the battle cry was ended, there was time for one Trimaran charge.
>Fighting fircely our heros fell.  But many foemen led their way.
>And no Trimaran will ever forget the foe he faced upon that day.
