Cries of Calontir

Words and Music: Vortemir Fire-tender
A.S. XXXI (July 30, 1996)

Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
Lay on! Lay on!
And brace for charges!
Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
As Calontir takes the field once again

We march!
Drums echo in valley and dell
We march!
And with honor we'll carry the day
We march!
Our sword-arms are healthy and hale
And we shall best all who stand in our way

Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
Lay on! Lay on!
And brace for charges!
Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
As Calontir takes the field once again

Well hit!
The ringing of sword upon shield
Well hit!
The clash of a blade to a blade
Well hit!
Strike harder if they will not yield
And fight to the death if there's no other way

Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
Lay on! Lay on!
And brace for charges!
Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
As Calontir takes the field once again

Well met!
The fight lasted most of the day
Well met!
Now raise up a glass to your foe
Well met!
At revels all festive and gay
We toast to their health till the east starts to glow

Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
Lay on! Lay on!
And brace for charges!
Lay on! Lay on!
Hear the battle-cry
As Calontir takes the field once again
