Ok, so here's the problem: I'm going to be fighting from 9am to 12pm this saturday. Groovy. Except that the bardic competition is at 12pm. To give me the absolute most time on the field, I'm going to go streight to the competition in armor. Their Majesties are both knights. They'll understand. As an added bonus I write a lot of songs about fighting.
I can't decide which of two songs to perform. They're actually my most recent offerings, and neither have ever been performed. Ever. By anyone. So I'd like to hear the opinions of other SCAdians.
The first option is the Queen filk posted by Squire to Fools few weeks ago.
The War Must Go On Early mornings--armor from days of yore Obsolete tech they don't use anymore Here we are They wonder why "those wierdos" wear such funny clothes Another battle, another day to fight Out on the erik, some don't strike with might That was light! I'm not gonna take it if it isn't good
Chorus: The war must go on The war must go on Inside my armor's baking The shield wall may be breaking But my gaurd still stays up
Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance Another revive, another step to dance Not again! Does anybody know what we are holding for? I guess I'm learning to take it all in stride Every battle a fight with my own pride No s**t there I was really-- But no one seems to hear me bragging yet again
[chorus]
Honor of old, it seems, at long last has come nigh Fairy-tales of yesterday will grow but never die, You know why my friends The wars must go on The wars must go on When we're out on the field, We're never gonna yeild On with the war Must get my fill I love the kill I have to find a foe who'll carry on On with the war The war must go on
Ok, this one's not a filk of anything. It just came to me out of nowhere on Tuesday(?).
[I'm not really sure what to call it, but I'm leaning toward either "Virtue" or "Valhalla when I die"] I am the brave Viking warrior With nine noble virtues comply I drink and I trade and I sail and I sing Valhalla when I die
Each man at my table is welcome Take bread and take salt and draw nigh Hospitality asks that I treat well my guests Valhalla when I die
I never will shirk in a battle At ready, my axe always high With my bearskin cloak and my fierce battle-rage Valhalla when I die
While I am truly a heathen My honesty's never awry I'll steal and I'll plunder, but never I'll fib Valhalla when I die (^my favorite verse)
I love you like a brother And always I'll stand by your side In battle, in peace, and the times in between Valhalla when I die
Always my promise is honored Though on some men you can't rely My word you should know's iron-clad to my grave Valhalla when I die
Always I am my own person Codependence I ever deny Like one mighty oak I stand strong on my own Valhalla when I die
Constant is my perseverance To yield--may my lifeblood run dry If ever I'm able I'll complete a task Valhalla when I die
A viking is surely industrious Any means he has he will apply Through creative thought he will get the job done Valhalla when he dies!
Discipline only an Eastern trait? Then never a viking you've tried You'll find no more focus in all the known world Valhalla when I die
I am so humble a Northman With noble virtues I comply I pray and I plow and I love and defend Valhalla when I die
Comments are welcome
Yours in Service, Caelia the Bold
