Mid-Realm Rise (aka The Dragon of the Midrealm)
| Tune: Sound the Pibroch |
|
Note: This was written in Lucien’s reign, and the chorus
went “Rise and follow Lucien”, but the name of the current monarch may be sung in place, as below. Rise, o Midrealm, heed the call, You gallant sons and daughters all, Now raise the standard proud and tall, The Dragon of the Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! Rise and follow Louis! South Oaken is a fabled land Brave deeds are done by gallant hands Now gather all you warrior bands! For the Dragon of the Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! Rise and follow Louis! North Oaken, as the songs do tell Is where the mighty heroes dwell. Their numbers will our army swell! The Dragon of the Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! Rise and follow Louis! The fighters of fair Pentamere Our enemies do rightly fear. Now let them march and raise the cheer For the Dragon of the Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! Rise and follow Louis! Proud Constellation shall not fail, And all who fight against them quail Like stars their shining coats of mail For the Dragon of the Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! Rise and follow Louis! In Midlands valiant deeds are done On prairie fields beneath the sun. From battle they shall never run! The Dragon of the Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! Rise and follow Louis! And now the time is near at hand To honor oaths and proudly stand! To fight for King and Queen and Land, For the Dragon of the Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! Rise and follow Louis! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm! Rise, rise, Midrealm rise! And cry, "Draco Invictus!" |
