| The Gods…
|
| The Gods are dead
|
| The whole world as we’ve come to know it is broken
|
| Since the sun’s eye blinked shut and never opened
|
| The lakes, plains and the oceans are frozen
|
| The Gods are dead
|
| Yet someone over us has spoken, saying
|
| Fill up the flagons
|
| Pack the wagons
|
| And advance the Caravan
|
| Through arid lands
|
| Narrow valleys
|
| Parry avalanches
|
| Trudging through the snow
|
| Clutching to the hope
|
| That we’ll be crunching dredge to slush
|
| As we deliver crushing blows
|
| The drum beat threads pointed needles
|
| With the noise of a big hammer
|
| The saga of our paths entwined
|
| Embroidered in the Banner
|
| So wave your Banners high
|
| Make them fan the sky
|
| Though you’re just as much a mortal man as I
|
| We do not plan to die
|
| I am Rook
|
| I do things by the book
|
| Since childhood I toed the line that Iver took
|
| I’ve seen vile things;
|
| Grunts, rapping gruff rhymes
|
| Skalflings
|
| Varl Kings
|
| From the Gruin Sea to Groffheim
|
| Meet me at the Mead House at three bells
|
| I need a Siege Archer and a Shieldbanger
|
| See my renown
|
| Can you hear the thunder?
|
| By the Beard of Dundr
|
| Gods know the Godstone’s got me crying tears of wonder
|
| Night is here, and thus we must find a bed to slumber
|
| I am but a Hunter
|
| Liable for providing
|
| For fighting fit men numbering a hundred
|
| Fighting fits of hunger
|
| I must guide lumbering Varl
|
| Or risk lying ripped asunder
|
| The drum beat threads pointed needles
|
| With the noise of a big hammer
|
| The saga of our paths entwined
|
| Embroidered in the Banner
|
| So wave your Banners high
|
| Make them fan the sky
|
| Though you’re just as much a mortal man as I
|
| We do not plan to die
|
| On the first day the Earth quakes
|
| Your nerves shake
|
| But your fate is certain
|
| No need to let your reserve break
|
| You must assert;
|
| Bravery and an alert brain
|
| Will serve to save you from a world of hurt
|
| And will avert pain
|
| Marching ever forward
|
| No rest, lest we be cornered
|
| Tortured then slaughtered
|
| Hung, drawn and quartered
|
| Bellower will see the error of his ways ever so soon
|
| When we thread his dread and terror’s weft
|
| Back into Mother’s loom
|
| The drum beat threads pointed needles
|
| With the noise of a big hammer
|
| The saga of our paths entwined
|
| Embroidered in the Banner
|
| So wave your Banners high
|
| Make them fan the sky
|
| Though you’re just as much a mortal man as I
|
| We do not plan to die
|
| Wave your banners high
|
| Make them fan the sky
|
| Though you’re just as much a mortal man as I
|
| We do not plan to die |
