> The Legion Goes Hunting
> by: Linus Furius

> Take comfort in the knowledge of God's grace,
> but be certain that heaven is holding your place
> for the band in blue goes a-hunting today,
> so pray it's not you that they're looking to slay
>
> With raiment of blue and blades dripping red,
> the Legion will see that the crows are well fed.
> Neither flesh of the boar nor the swift running stag
> will appease the grim thirst of the blue and white flag
>                   Chorus
> The Legion goes hunting today
> The Legion goes hunting today
>
> It's the flesh of the foeman they're seeking this day,
> you should head for the fields man it's madness to stay
> Leave your weapons behind and so too your shield,
> flee from us now, 'fore it's too late to yield
>                (chorus)
> If a stand you must make, pick a field flat and wide
> it'll do you no good, it's like fighting the tide.
> Pick a place without stones where the grass has grown tall
> no it won't save your life but it will break your fall
>                (chorus)
> With one lone white star on a banner held high
> the survivors will swear that it's God's own right eye.
> Make your sacraments well, say the prayers that you ought
> and know if we meet you that it's all been for naught
>                (chorus)
> May God judge your worth and the king judge your words
> and the Legion will judge you with the lance and the sword.
> Let God take his tithe and the king tax your wealth
> for the Legion will take from you everything else!
>                (chorus)
> Take comfort in the knowledge of God's grace
> but be certain that heaven is holding your place
