At the special request of Sir Elbaid, here are the lyrics to the song I sang at Winter Court.
The Gathering of Lions
Come gather ‘round Lions,
It’s high time ye learned,
Of the heroes who lead us,
And the glory they earned.
I first sing of Cynan,
Whose spear strikes are true,
He slew the demon,
Its heart he ran through.
In the hundreds we fought,
With our swords and spears levelled,
He killed the monster,
In its blood we revelled.
I next tell of Matthew,
A knight unparalleled,
He told us of virtue,
And he taught us all well.
So we marched day and night,
All prepared to die,
By Matthew’s command,
We charge for the light.
Hear tales of Hector,
Six hundred hands tall,
More mountain than man,
He fears nothing at all.
He led us to victory,
On the fields of Bico,
With him we’re matchless,
I pity our foes.
The rest of us Lions,
To you up we look,
We honour you thusly,
With the songs in this book.
You’re combined strength and wisdom,
Has forged a great team,
Through Hell you may lead us,
No Lion will flee.
