Having been inspired by events transpiring... I felt an urge to weigh in on
the impromptu bardic by the esteemed Damon Xanthus.
(To the tune of 'House of the Rising Sun' by the Animals)
The Lay of Gothic Lands
There is a place in Gothic lands
Lain neath the setting sun
A jewel set high in the Ansteorran crown
Now poised to come undone
Sing now of Honorable Jarl Hrafn
A man both strong and true
He strove against the growing dark
Til his foe; he had his due
They say he met his bane upon
A field both lonely and cold
And through his rage he rose again
A ruin both tragic and bold
Ansteorra call your banners true
>From North and South and East
To come all haste to Gothic land
and join the Carrion feast
We'll strive to form a bulwark strong
And hold the dark at bay
Win back the heart of Jarl Hrafn
Win back the light of day
Our loves cry not for our soldiers true
Marching off to strife
To cleave the darkness from Gothic land
And lay low the bane of life
There is a place in Gothic lands
Lain neath the setting sun
It calls to blood of Sable and Gold
To fight til the day is won
All will fight til the day is won.
~L Ricard Valentinius Parvifeles; Glaslyn.
