Hail the Striking Falcon

Words and Music: Dwolm Rede

The war drum sounds and we are called to be Estrella bound
Our axes honed, our spears are bright, there's glory to be found
So gather up the war band and heed our fearsome cry
For Calontir is bird of prey to battle we will fly

So hail the striking falcon! That golden bird of prey
Our foemen all have fallen, our valor wins the day
Our hearts are bold, our honor true, we bask in glory's rays
Our fealty and our swords we pledge, to the bird of prey.

At Lilies War we gather round to fight our brothers true
With sword and shield and axe and spear, our honor we will prove
So join us round the campfire, lads, no heroes here today
Our brotherhood of warriors praise that golden bird of prey

So hail the striking falcon! That golden bird of prey
Our foemen all have fallen, our valor wins the day
Our hearts are bold, our honor true, we bask in glory's rays
Our fealty and our swords we pledge, to the bird of prey.

In foreign wars our shield wall stands, a bulwark strong and true
Though we be few, our hearts are stout, our mettle we have proved
So pass about the mead and beer and laugh and shout and say:
"When battle calls, no foe withstands that golden bird of prey

So hail the striking falcon! That golden bird of prey
Our foemen all have fallen, our valor wins the day
Our hearts are bold, our honor true, we bask in glory's rays
Our fealty and our swords we pledge, to the bird of prey.
