Calontir Stands Alone
Lyrics: Brom Blackhand
Tune: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"
O, Ladies and Lords of Calontir (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
Please gather around and leng an ear (Waes Hael! Dring Hael!)
O, gather around and lend an ear,
And I'll sing you a song of Calontir,
And you all shall know why Calontir stands alone.
We're far form the Northwoods Barony (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
And damn near as far from Tree-Girt-Sea (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
O, and Rivenstar with its flag unfurled
Is damn near the other side of the world-
O that's one good reason why Calontir stands alone.
We haven't got belted chivalry (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!)
Just good old unbelted fighters, we (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!)
And on battlefields many we've stood the test,
Proved our bravery, skill and our honor's the best.
We shall smite our foes 'til Calontir stands alone.
Our tourneys and feasts to none compare (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
And good times with us are far from rare (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!).
Let all come to us for our food is good,
And there's merry song in our halls and woods.
That's just one more reason why Calontir stands alone.
O, Ladies and Lords of Calontir (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
Put your hearts into what you do this year (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
And in the end I think we'll see
A merry Principality
On that bright clear day when Calontir stands alone.
O, Ladies and Lords of Calontir (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
Put your hearts into what you do this year (Waes Hael! Drink Hael!),
And in the end the Worlde will see
A kingdom proud and strong and free
On that high bright day when Calontir stands alone.
