Joy to the World
Here is fun song provided to me by a Horde Friend, in other words someone who is a good (or in this case a relative) of a member of the Great Dark Horde. For those who don’t know, the Horde is among you. Members of this mercenary clan can be found throughout the Known World.
Joy to the World
Tune: Joy to the World
Words: By Sir Steven MacEanruig and Sir William the Lucky
Joy to the world, for war has come,
And we can fight again.
Let every foe know fear and woe,
And swords and axes swing,
And swords and axes swing,
And swords and swords and axes swing.
We’ll rule the world with axe and mace,
And Heaven up above.
Let battle cry ring fierce and high,
For war is what we love,
For war is what we love,
For war, for war, is what we love.
Joy to the world, for war has come,
With sword, and arrows’ flight.
We’ll maim and slay, all through the day,
And rape and loot at night,
And rape and loot at night,
And rape, and rape, and loot at night.
Hark the Heralds Loudly Cry
by Sir Steven MacEanruig
Hark! The heralds loudly cry
Who will live and who will die?
Tourney time is here once more
Kingdom’s crown we’re fighting for.
Join us on this tourney day,
Joyously we’ll maim and slay,
Hark! The heralds loudly sing,
Sword on helm is heard to ring;
Hark! The heralds loudly sing,
One of us will soon be King.
What Knight is This?
by Sir William the Lucky
What knight is this, who, laid to rest
In cold dark ground is sleeping?
The Western King destruction brings,
And Eastern men are weeping.
This, this ? Cariadoc!
Who came to scoff and died of shock.
Haste, haste to lay the sod
O’er faded hopes of glory.
