Wetham (Realm)/Literature/Songs (Soldier of Ravenheart)

~By

A bold Cavalier came marching back through Frundi
Off from the wars in the East country,
And he sang as he marched
Through the crowded streets of Frundi,
``Who'll be a soldier for Ravenheart and me?

Who'll be a soldier? Who'll be a soldier?
Who'll be a soldier for Ravenehart and me?
And he sang as he marched
Through the crowded streets of Frundi,
``Who'll be a soldier for RavenHeart and me?

The King, he has ordered new troops into the East
To take what was lost from the enemy.
And if you would be a soldier
Under a Brilliant Banner
Take the King's shilling for RavenHeart and me.

Take the King's shilling. Take the King's shilling.
Take the King's shilling for RavenHeart and me.
And if you would be a soldier
Under a brilliant Banner
Take the King's shilling for Ravenheart and me.

``Not I, said the butcher, ``Nor I, said the baker.
Most of the rest with them did agree.
To be paid with the mail and
The rattle of the steel-sword
Wages for soldiers for RavenHeart and me.

Wages for soldiers, wages for soldiers,
Wages for soldiers for RavenHeart and me.
To be paid with the mail and
The rattle of the steel-sword
Wages for soldiers for RavenHeart and me.

``Now I, said the young man, ``have oft endured the parish queue.
There is no wages or employment for me.
Salvation or danger,
That'll be my destiny.
To be a soldier for RavenHeart and me.

To be a soldier, to be a soldier,
To be a soldier for RavenHeart and me.
Salvation or danger,
That'll be my destiny.
To be a soldier for RavenHeart and me.

Now twenty new recruits came marching back through Frundi
Off to the wars in the East country.
And they sang as they marched
Through the crowded streets of Frundi,
``Who'll be a soldier for RavenHeart and me?

Who'll be a soldier, who'll be a soldier,
Who'll be a soldier for RavenHeart and me?
And they sang as they marched
Through the crowded streets of Frundi,
``Who'll be a soldier for RavenHeart and me?
