Heart of Gold

Filk by Lot Ramirez
To the tune of "Good Ship Ragamuffin", Traditional sailing song


Chorus:
Oh, come my Northshield Brethren, come fight with me this day
Come bring out all your battle gear, and blow the foes away
We'll live again in legends, in stories ever told
And our names will ring, when the people sing of a griffin's heart of gold.

I do not fear for battle, I do not fear to die
For a Griffin's always strongest when he sounds a battle cry
We'l fight with honor foremost, with valor and with grace
For TO GUIDE a path, through the enemies wrath, to the noblest of place

(Chorus)

Farewell to ye, me mother. Farewell to ye, me bro
Farewell to all me cousins, for it's off to war I go
The king has called a levy, for the men to go away
For TO SERVE in war on a foreign shore, so that safe at home ye'll stay

(Chorus)

We'll fight for king and kingdom, we'll fight on honor bound
For to rail 'gainst ruthless treachery where e'er it might be found
And when the battle rages, it's steel to steel we'll stand
For TO LIGHT THE WAY, on that fateful day, to the noblest of ends

(Chorus x2)
