A Song for Ala Mhigo

[Harknezz]

For the past few days, a new song might be heard playing at taverns and other places where minstrels gladly tread. played to a slow melody, usually on the piano, but it could be adapted to any instrument  ( For reference, the tune is to the  

 ). If asked, the person playing might point to another bard they'd heard play it, but if someone followed the chain of musicians, they'd find themselves at the Harbingers of Dawn estate, following tales of a red-haired Ala Mhigan Midlander playing the song at their tavern night.

 

 

 

 

[align=center]Far over the ancient Black Shroud cries[/align]

[align=center]A city stands up on the heights[/align]

[align=center]What was before we’ll have once more[/align]

[align=center]Our nation a distant light[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Windy Highlands beneath the moon[/align]

[align=center]The words unspoken, we’ll be there soon[/align]

[align=center]For home a song that echoes on[/align]

[align=center]And all who join us will know the tune[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Ala Mhigo we’ll never forget[/align]

[align=center]Garlemald we’ll never forgive[/align]

[align=center]Haven’t seen the back of us yet[/align]

[align=center]We’ll fight so long as we live[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Their lies opened the door[/align]

[align=center]To Gyr Abania borne[/align]

[align=center]Our hearts a gathering storm[/align]

[align=center]Until we get our unforgotten home[/align]

 

 

[align=center]We lay on in Gyr Abania’s wold[/align]

[align=center]On and over, the Highlands rolled[/align]

[align=center]We must away, our home to take[/align]

[align=center]Against the darkness a torch we hold[/align]

 

 

[align=center]From long before the Fists were spurned[/align]

[align=center]Til this day our hearts have yearned[/align]

[align=center]For her fate we moan, the gryphon’s throne[/align]

[align=center]What was stolen must be returned[/align]

 

 

[align=center]We must awake, and take the day[/align]

[align=center]To find a song for heart and soul[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Ala Mhigo we’ll never forget[/align]

[align=center]Garlemald we’ll never forgive[/align]

[align=center]Haven’t seen the back of us yet[/align]

[align=center]We’ll fight so long as we live[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Their lies opened the door[/align]

[align=center]To Gyr Abania borne[/align]

[align=center]Our hearts a gathering storm[/align]

[align=center]Until we get our unforgotten home[/align]

 

 

[align=center]Far beyond, the Black Shroud’s folds.[/align]

 

 

 

 

(Got bored and came up with this song. It seemed to go over well at the Tavern Night I played it for, so I thought I'd share it here for anyone to enjoy or for any bardic players to have use of. =] Please let me know what you think if you want.)

Very well done. This would've been a great addition to the Celebration of the Destroyer a week or so ago.
