Many years ago, a northern shire in Calontir had an event based around the
Song of Roland.  A certain bard of our kingdom, known for his stirring war
songs, entered the bardic competition with the following song.

katriana, 
Shire of Bois d'Arc, southern border of Calontir

Song of Roland
Words: Angus of Blackmoor	
Tune: Rawhide			

Roland, Roland, Roland,
Keep those Moors a fallin' 
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
When we hear your horn a soundin'
Over hills we'll come a boundin' 
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Roland!
Although the Moors you're killin' 
Their ranks keep refillin'
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Roland!

Roland, Roland, Roland,
Keep those Moors a fallin'
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
On a dusty mountain pass
Those folks'll kick your ass
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Roland!     
No matter who wins the battle
You Franks'll die like cattle
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Roland!     

Roland, Roland, Roland,
Keep those Moors a fallin'
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Now the sun's a settin'
On your men I'm not a bettin'
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Roland!     
In death you'll all be heroes
Though your ranks do number zeroes
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Roland!     

Roland, Roland, Roland,
Keep those Moors a fallin'
Keep those Moors a fallin', Roland!
Form a wall, move it up, charge!!, kill'em all!
Kill'em alllllll Roland!!!!!!
ROLAND!!!!!!!
