Here are the words for the Ansteorran Line.
Avery
THE ANSTEORRAN LINE
Alden Pharamond
(cheerfully plagiarized from "Clare's Dragoons")
On any Known World battlefield
An army finds it's fate is sealed
And they know that they must die, or yield
Before -- the Ansteorran Line
So let all who face our might today
And try to hold our swords at bay
Be the next to join the dead who lay
Along -- the Ansteorran Line
And cry "Vivat!" for the heroes (of) old
Cry "Vivat!" for the new ones, too
And cry "Vivat!" for the Black and Gold
And the Star that shines when hearts are true
And whene'er for honor's field, we vie, Our Kingdom's banners sweep the
sky
And we know we'll win, or bravely die, Within -- the Ansteorran Line
For never when our spears were set, And never when our shield-walls met
Have our foemen failed to pay the debt, Unto -- the Ansteorran Line
CHORUS
And for every fallen friend we must, Fulfill for them this warrior's trust
A dozen foes shall bite the dust, Before -- the Ansteorran Line
So fling your war-flag to the sky, "Vivat the Star!" your battle cry
And fight 'till the blood floats knee-cop high, Around -- the Ansteorran
Line
CHORUS
Reprise So on any Known World battlefield, An army finds it's fate is
sealed
And they know that they must die, or yield, Before -- the Ansteorran Line
So fling your war-flag to the sky, "Vivat the Star" our battle cry
And fight 'till the blood floats knee-cop high, Around -- the Ansteorran
Line
And cry "Vivat!" for the heroes (of) old
Cry "Vivat!" for the new ones, too
And cry "Vivat!" for the Black and Gold
And the Star that lives ... in me and - you!

>you please publish it to this list? If I can get the lyrics, I will send
>them to the kingdom Chronicler for publication in the Black Star as well
>as my barony's newsletter. If we begin learning this song now and
>singing it around camp fires at events, we will know it well come Gulf
>War XI.

>Alaric and Kayliegh did a good thing in commissioning this song during
