Each Must Die Someday

unto the overturned keel
Clamber with a heart of steel
Cold is the ocean’s spray.
Your death is on its way
And your death is on its way
Keep courage in your heart
This life you will depart
Although you are dismayed
Each must die someday
And each must die someday.
No horseshoe of your mouth
Wear your honor proud
rain beats on the quay
Each must die someday
And each must die someday
Maidens shared their love
Couldn't be enough?
None can ever stay
Each must die someday
And each must die someday

Wild Mountain Thyme

The summertime has come
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows among the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie go?
CHORUS:
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon clear crystal fountain
Aye and on it I will pile
All the flowers o’ the mountain
Will ye go, lassie go?
CHORUS
If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme
Grows among the blooming heather
Will ye go, lassie go?
CHORUS

Storm's Landing's Tavern
03:14
|
|

There once was a man
Connor was his name
He went into the tavern
To release some of his strain
Many heads turned,
When he walked through the door
For he was in shining armor…And the drinkers they were poor
Chorus:
Laylaylaylaylay
I can tell you their names For they’re known far and wide
Peter, Aryn, Bok’ra, Branko by his side
Violet and Cedlas, Isla, Kyri, Vlad
Did I mention Raigo? In short; there were a lot
Chorus
A fight then broke out, as fights tend to do
Those who didn’t want to fight quickly left for the loo
Our man in shining armor, was outnumbered ten to one
They beat him up so badly, his shining days were done
They took all his stuff, left him sprawling on the floor
They left him for dead, as they walked out the door
So if you like a drink, kindly take my advice:
If you go for Storm’s Landing, you go for a fight…
Laylaylay
Peter, Aryn, Bok’ra,
Branko by his side
Violet and Cedlas, Isla, Kyri, Vlad
Did I mention Raigo?
There’s always a lot
There’s a lot to do
And a lot to drink
And a lot of fists
That end up on your chin
Storm’s Landing’s own tavern
Is a place I’d avoid
But if you really want to go there
Don’t act like you weren’t warned

The Realmsguard

Men who fight for what they know is good.
Never saw them like all the men from the Realmsguard troupe.
Don’t turn your head when they come marching through!
Then you understand that they fight for the greater good!
The Realmsguard they will be; the first to step into the fray!
Move-in while others flee, Seeking out a foe to slay!
Laws of man are held up high.
The chaos in the realm subsides where the Realmsguard fight!
Valorborne, our bannerlords!
Inspiring new hope in those that they come across!
The Realmsguard they will be; the first to step into the fray!
Move-in while others flee, Seeking out a foe to slay!
Realmsguard shield our meek from harm… Wardens keep and forge our arms…
Crusaders, combating heresy! That's spreading through, the lands...
Our lands... The lands of…
Altera!
The Realmsguard they will be; the first to step into the fray!
Move-in while others flee, Seeking out a foe to slay!
Oh, Realmsguard keep it high, the banner that flies overhead.
Go out and show your might, come back alive; avenge the dead!
The Realmsguard they will be; the first to step into the fray!
Move-in while others flee, Seeking out a foe to slay!
Oh, Realmsguard keep it high, the banner that flies overhead.
Go out and show your might, come back alive; avenge the dead!

Of all the money that e'er I had
I have spent it in good company
Oh and all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all

In the vast library
I found books there, written by a friend
But he has gone away from me
Our road has come to an end
Shelf after shelf, filled with meaning
Words between the lines I found
Reading and feeling as if I’m dreaming
His voice in my head did resound
Ahhh ahhh aaaahaaahh
He left this land, he left his brother
With another friend in tow
He Left this world to find another
Though his past remains in these tomes
So whenever I’m sad that my friend is missing
I return to that old bookcase
And I find the things his hand has written
Feel his spirit fly out of the page
Feel his spirit fly out of that page
Aaahhh ahhh ahhh
In the vast library
I found books there, written by a friend
Although he has gone away from me
This is not the end
No this is not the end
