Lyrics
Sing for the Dolphin; Sing for the Stag
Sing for the Falcon; They fight back to back
Sing for alliance; Sing for the fray
Sing a mass for the foeman who stands in our way
From the shores of the West comes the blades of Caid
Practiced in weapons and fearsome to see
Footfalls break hearthstones, crack oaken beams
Their grim looks have quieted even the seas
Sing for the Dolphin; Sing for the Stag
Sing for the Falcon; They fight back to back
Sing for alliance; Sing for the fray
Sing a mass for the foeman who stands in our way
The mountains and deserts of Outlands breeds men
Whose prowess is such that for one they slay ten
So swift is their host they have no need of horse
Drumming a thunderous portent of war
Sing for the Dolphin; Sing for the Stag
Sing for the Falcon; They fight back to back
Sing for alliance; Sing for the fray
Sing a mass for the foeman who stands in our way
Sing for the Dolphin; Sing for the Stag
Sing for the Falcon; They fight back to back
Sing for alliance; Sing for the fray
Sing a mass for the foeman who stands in our way
See now the line of fair Calontir shields
Their king leading boldly their Huscarls and Fyrds
Now joins the Dolphin, now leaping Stag
Send over your ransom, resistance is mad
Notes: I first heard this song on one of Duke Conn MacNiell's albums when I purchased it. The song is extremely catchy and short enough that I mostly memorized it by accident.
The song was obviously written to commemorate an alliance between the kingdoms of Caid, Outlands, and Calontir so I expect this was for an Estrella war, although I'm not certain which one.
The thing I have the most trouble with in this one is the rhythmn and alliteration make it close to a tongue twister in some portions so diction becomes extremely important. That being said, it's a fun challenge to see how quickly I can sing it without screwing up.
