Song of the Wall

[andrewducker]

If you don't play Legend of the 5 Rings then the following song will probably slide straight off of you. But the second stanza popped into my head while brushing my teeth this morning, so I had to write the whole damn thing.

The Wall
(A War Song Of The Crab)

1) We hear the sound of goblin feet
We hear the Oni roar
We know that death and taint and blood
Is what fate holds in store.

So we stand and we fall
And we walk on the wall
While the world scurries past far below

For we know in the end
'Gainst the monsters He sends
It is we who will take the first blow

2) In the distance mighty rumblings
Black storm clouds above our heads
Soon will come the time of reckoning
We will soon avenge our dead.

So we answer the call
In the emperor's thrall
To protect and to serve with our lives

We don't break, we don't bend
Wo don't make many friends
But our fury will soon turn the tide

3) Now they come at us in thousands
Endless blackness raining down
Waves break on us, neverending
Hold us under 'til we drown

So we struggle and fight
With our skill and our might
Until some stray shot brings us low

There is honour in death
So we take our last breath
And take our foe with when we go

4) After night the new day dawning
We will always turn the tide
Though our brothers lie around us
We are held aloft by pride

On the Wall we will stand
With our weapon in hand
Our armour now painted in red

With the blood in our eyes
We watch the sun rise
And prepare to honour our dead
