The White Star

Filk by Lord Mateo Montero De Madrid
To the tune of "Rant and Roar", Traditional English sailing song


Farewell and adieu,
To you, Midrealm brethren.
Farewell and adieu
To my lady so sweet.
For the white star sails out
In the morning tomorrow.
I hope when the winds change
Again we will meet


Chorus:
We'll rant and we'll roar
Like true Midrealm sailors
Rant and we'll roar all along
The salt sea.
Until we strike soundings in the
Channel of brave Caid.
From ocea to cilly be 35 leagues


The captain's voice rings
With the strength of Poseidon
The captain's voice sounds
O'er the wind and the waves
"Steady, there, lads! Hold fast to the riggings!
For the Black flag flies south o'er starboard and sea"


(Chorus)


Strong steel blades
Hiss forth from their scabbards.
The proud first mate stands
A broadsword on his hip
The cannons ring out
In the mist of the morning
Drowned out by the cries
Of the men of the ship


(Chorus)


The battle was met
And the men they fought bravely
The captain stepped forth
For to duel with the foe
The shriek of the steel
And the screams of the dying
The pirates defeated, sent back on their heels.


(Chorus)


Let every man
Drink up his full bumper
Let every man drink down his full glass
We'll drink and be jolly
And drown melancholy
And drink to the health of each truehearted lass!


(chorus x2)
