[Ansteorra] War songs

[Carl Chipman]

Gonna pollute you with them cross-cultural thingies, but being as close 
to the Calontir border as we are, we are experienced with a lot of good 
"war songs"

So, my top five...

#1) Song of the Shield Wall
#2) Huscarl Song
#3) Cheer :)
#4) Drums
#5) Lion Dragon Guard Cadence

Two of those  (#3 and #4) are totally Calontir songs, but they have all 
of the necessary parts for "sangin"

#1) Easy chorus
#2) Lyrics and music amenable to a wide range of skills and voice qualities

IMO, there aren't as many good Ansteorra war songs because

#1) Ansteorra doesn't rhyme with anything
#2) Lack of theme
