Calontir Sings for Battle

Words and Music: Mikal Hrafspa (Mikal the Ram)
Source: Treasure of the Master

Now the kingdoms hear our voices,
Listen to the war-drums' rattle
Crying out for power and glory,
Calontir sings for battle

Up then brothers; take your spear,
Join the host of Calontir
Nobles marching side by side,
Let our Foeman hear our pride

Now the kingdoms hear our voices,
Listen to the war-drums' rattle
Crying out for power and glory,
Calontir sings for battle

Gather Fyrdmen on the field,
Ready with the Spear and Shield
They will hear the battle cry,
In our songs as we march by

Now the kingdoms hear our voices,
Listen to the war-drums' rattle
Crying out for power and glory,
Calontir sings for battle

Summon Huscarls from the land,
Ready with a blade in hand
We will make the woodlands ring,
With the songs that we will sing

Now the kingdoms hear our voices,
Listen to the war-drums' rattle
Crying out for power and glory,
Calontir sings for battle

Call the Knights and Masters bold,
Ready weapons Meet the foe
With their fellows of the shield,
As we sing "We will not yield"

Now the kingdoms hear our voices,
Listen to the war-drums' rattle
Crying out for power and glory,
Calontir sings for battle

When this army takes the field,
Know the weapons we will wield
Wall of shields to make us strong,
And the power in our songs.

Now the kingdoms hear our voices,
Listen to the war-drums' rattle
Crying out for power and glory,
Calontir sings for battle
