Pathfinder obsession!! Here i've created a lyrical adaptation for The Shining Crusade, to the tune of The Foggy Dew. Listen to Luke Kelly belt it out, his voice, but as it plays read my lyrics. I imagine the song would be sung in taverns and pubs throughout Andoran, Nirmathas, Multhune, Lastwall and Taldor. :D
Adapted Lyrics:
As down the glen one Gorzan morn to a town fair rode I
There Armed lines of Ozem knights in squadrons passed me by
No flute did hum, no battle drum did sound its dread tune
But the silver bell rang its death knell out through the foggy dew
Right proudly high over Encarthan Lake they flew the flag of war
'Twas better to die 'neath an Taldan sky than at Ardis or Karaeu
And from the town of Vellurnis strong men came hurrying through
While the Tyrant’s Shunned, with their Risen Ones, marched in through the foggy dew
'A Whispering Tyrant bade our bold host go, staying that "small nations might be free";
Their lonely graves are by Encarthan’s waves or the shores of the great Inner Sea.
Oh, had they died by Arazni’s side or fought with Iomedae True
Their graves we'd keep where the heroes sleep, 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew.
Oh the bravest fell, Vigil's Cathedral bell rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Gorzan tide in the spring time of the year
And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless blades, but few,
Who bore the fight that Taldor's light might shine through the foggy dew
