Thunder and Flame

[To everyone's surprise, Marlae Agelmore, the venerable bard from Three Corners, took up a bow and marched with the Wilder archer regiment. She composed this as a marching song to rally the troop's spirits, and it proved very popular all over the north.]

Steady as it goes, lads!
'Neath the hawk, wave, and rose, lads! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)
Cuinn the Countess, she came, lads!
With her thunder and flame, lads! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)

Steady drive the nags, girls!
'Neath brave new griffon flags, girls! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)
Cuinn the Countess, she came, girls!
To break two sets of chains, girls! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)

With the Lady of Thunder who rides on her left
Mara Firehawk rides on her right
With the Lords of Portage and Bayside,to flip
The bird at the Emperor's might!

So we March to take back what is rightfully ours
With our eyes ever fixed on our kill
If Cuinn's arrows should fail to find Thaliere's heart
Then the thunder and flame surely will!

Steady as the forge, lads!
For the pride of the Gorge, lads! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)
Aim as keen as the elves, lads!
Masters? None but ourselves, lads! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)

Steady down the path, girls!
Bring Cuiraecen's wrath, girls! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)
Bring the Empire to shame, girls!
With our thunder and flame, girls! (Hey! Hey! Hi!)
