Songs

The Red and The White

by Mark Somers

Many patriotic songs are growing in popularity in Perrenland in these troubled times. One of the battle hymns doing the rounds of bars and pubs of Perrenland in CY 595 is The Red and the White. It is sung as a metered chant, and accompanied by the pounding of fists/mugs/hilts on shields and wooden tables.

I come from the lake
The depths are my neighbour
With full sail I will come
And the enemy will know a true storm

Rood! I will fight to my last drop of blood!
Weiss! No evil will darken my soul!

I come from the plain
I am a rider
Keph's blood flows in my steed
We carry the wind's fury to the foe

Rood! I will fight to my last drop of blood!
Weiss! No evil will darken my soul!

I come from the hill
I live in the shadow of giants
I will make the wall with my brothers
My sisters will sing the foe’s death song

Rood! I will fight to my last drop of blood!
Weiss! No evil will darken my soul!

I come from the forest
I walk 'neath limb and leaf
My bow will cast arrows unnumbered
A deadly rain to wash away the foe

Rood! I will fight to my last drop of blood!
Weiss! No evil will darken my soul!

I come from the cavern
I walk each day in gloom
No evil lives in my darkness
My foe will see no light again

Rood! I will fight to my last drop of blood!
Weiss! No evil will darken my soul!

I come from the mountain
Atop the clouds I march
Thunder is in my heart
I bring lightning to sear the foe

Rood! I will fight to my last drop of blood!
Weiss! No evil will darken my soul!

I am Perrenland!
