(Verse 1)
Tírgréinian ships in Axen Bay
Stalwart foe in old Kaldwei waits
Trembling arms pull oaken oars again, again
Glint of steel, marines three score deep
Mages at the stern, power unveiled
Conjuring flame between blackened palms
Longbows bend and loose projectiles
Death cries drifting across rocking waves
(Chorus)
Amidst the raging inner sea, a naval clash unfolds,
Unforgiving mistress is the water cold
To the beat of battle drums, crusaders sail as one,
To ram and smash the hulls, their enemy's dreams undone.
Wizards cast their fireballs, ablaze with mystic might,
To break defensive barriers, both glimmering and bright
Widows made many as the waves run red that day,
A dance of fear and valor in the Axen bay.
(Verse 2)
The two fleets locked in pitched battle
Outnumbered, Kaldwei stands its ground
Hundred heroes carve future song
From a maelstrom of rocking chaos
Bold Tirgrein begins to press in the center
Courage of pagans slowly starts to wane
The line of the
golden enfield remains
unbroken in the fray
(Chorus)
Let loose the dragon’s tears
Behold the fell flames
A blaze that crosses sea and sky
In search of new prey
Blood soaks into
the sand on the deck
The victors keep their course
there's a city to attack
Unseeing eyes stare from
the bottom of the bay.
Fires Over Axen Bay!

A host gathering upon a field of waves before walls of bone-white brick and mortar.
A splendid city, home of gnomes, will burn. Hear a tale of conquest, death and ruin.
We are the shield of west
we are the beacon of faith
we bleed for Highfather
our watching eyes never rest
When the king commands
our swords and spears are ready
Soldiers of Tírgréin
let's show them strength of our hearts
After midnight
in the light of Pale Mother
Embrace the solitude
for tomorrow we will fight
With the beat of drum
under the flying banners
Soldiers of Tírgréin
Oh proud ones we will come
On the eve of battle, the sorcerers did gather,
To conjure a spell with power and fervor.
With chants and invocations, they called upon the holy father,
To grant them strength and break the enemy's odds.
Their voices rose in unison, a melody of magic, as they
beseeched the elements to aid them in their tragic,
The waves did heed their call, the sea began to roil,
As the sorcerers' magic stirred the water's turmoil.
Tírgréinian dromons surged forward with a roar,
The sorcerers were ready to clear the way to shore.
With a burst of light and thunder, the spell was cast,
The wreckage blocking harbor was shattered at last.
We are the shield of west
we are the beacon of faith
we bleed for Highfather
our watching eyes never rest
When the king commands
our swords and spears are ready
Soldiers of Tírgréin
righteous are our demands
With the radiant dawn
we draw our strength from the sun
praised be the Holy Father
upon his celestial throne
With the beat of drums
under the flying banners
Soldiers of Tírgréin
our day of triumph comes
Move, akritai, storm the walls
it's time to kill, we shall advance
our catapults have cleared the way
The harbour defence surely falls
taking ramparts is our chance
look at them their faces gray
I've seen it all in previous wars
Hack and slash that's my kind of dance
it makes my foes run in disarray
Charge, my brothers
don't let them catch their breath!
Let's chase them down
Let's chase them down!
The ring of steel
Echoes in my ears
Ere the final
death breath
Will we find
our glory
The battle spills into the streets and alleyways
Of a white city painted red
The harbour district is lit with a mage flame
defenders on the run or dead
Castle is taken, garrison broken
the bronze statue of Ranelan is taken down
A day of valor
A day of courage
A day of victory
Victory

Shlamaloukh, qarrādum
Ye conquered, placed in chains
There is a fire in you yet
Why choose this road of pain
Tell me of a memory
Of sister or mother
Your brother, maybe lover
Or perhaps sweet son or daughter
Oh to think of a love so far away
Two bold sons I love so dearly
A cottage on a cliff so high
The scent of sea air in summer
The sound of seagulls and fisherfolk
Sight of the market in swing
And of beloved wife so precious
How I long to see them once again
But there is something
I hold dearer still
My word, my honour
my faith, my soul
To forsake them
is to forsake myself
And that is too terrible
for me to bear
Save yourself, reject the false gods
your sacrifice is pointless
The dead have no words to speak
No songs to sing, no tales to tell
Think of your woman, your children
Think of home somewhere safe
Life is to be lived and savored
Not thrown away
Mistake me not, I think of them always
How could I forget them
We have just one life, tis true
But I have lived it fully to this day
We shall speak no more
My decision is made, my regrets few
Let me face my fate
I will soon meet my gods
That distant song
Is that you my love
Could it be you
Could it be you

Ho there humble soldier
Brother in arms... and shovel
Spin me a tale, grave digger
Sing me a song of bravery
Sure I was in there
myself in shining mail
reckless daring crusader
now listen to my tale
(Chorus)
Soldiers brave
noble souls
cowards pale
fates untold
Rotting bones
highest toll
silent stones
of Anghor Tod
The fortress gates are open, their cavalry wants to storm us
bring to me my lance, my horse, let's give 'em a taste of steel
By the light of Holy father we shall strike them, push them, crush them!
form on me, my cataphracts, to battle, don't falter!
Fire, inferno, a blaze of stars
earth shakes and trembles, lightning 'cross the skies
Ancient fort is crumbling, wrath of mages unleashed
there will be no siege, today the war will be decided
Hold there, grave digger
the battle was a mess
hardly was it worth a tale
a song even less
No mention of chivalry
of honourable men
of Tírgréinian infantry
of heroes who won the day
War is never pretty
Battles are not fair
But you will have your bravery
Your hero was prince Gwern
While charging he was impaled
But he lead the army still
Until victory was secured
So strong was his will
How fair is he
our dear prince Gwern
his heart is pure
I know he loves his men
I pray to the god
oh lord of joy and light
please spare the prince
don't take him to the afterlife
(Chorus)
What is the point of war if the youth won't survive, if innocence dies?
We strive for a world full of cripples and fools and filthy beggars!
Fuck - the - king!
(Chorus)
Rex vult!
Rex vult!
Rex vult!
Your grace!
Kiss my ass!
Your grace!

Blood on their hands
Despoiled land
They flee justice
Honour undone
(chorus)
Across green and rolling hills
We bound by duty to see them returned
They must be punished for their sins
Show no mercy, their fate is sealed
Pillager thee
Rapists all three
One crime reflects
Upon us all
For the crimes of theft, looting, murder, rape in abundance
thee three are hereby sentenced to death by hanging.
(chorus)

In the halls of Aurdeen, the victor's feast was laid,
All reveled in triumph, the spoils of war displayed,
The nobles of Tírgréin boasted in pride,
As the archbishop entered, a warning to provide.
Tell me now, oh king Morn,
is it faith, or is it coin
are you noble, pious man
or deceiving charlatan
Mind your words, dear archbishop!
You threaten me in front of all?
Our people paid for that land in blood.
While you sat on a shiny throne.
Not in hundred years
could Ocraine launch attack
tell me now, oh archbishop
why should I give it back?
Because such is the law
Well I am the law
The light is the law
Then I am the light!
The Archbishop implored king Morn to see reason,
And return the conquered lands to Ocraine, in a season,
But Morn's pride and greed stood in the way,
As he refused to give up his spoils of war that day.
King Morn didn't see reason
Take the archbishop to prison!
Strip him of titles and land
I will not stand his treason
Like a house of cards
as wind blows it apart
the king has crossed a line
and there is no coming back

To ta Heľpa, to ta Heľpa, to je pekné mesto,
a v tej Heľpe a v tej Heľpe švárnych chlapcov je sto,
koho je sto, toho je sto, nie po mojej vôli,
len za jedným, len za jedným srdiečko ma bolí.
Za Janíčkom, za Palíčkom krok by nespravila,
za Ďuríčkom, za Mišíčkom Dunaj preskočila,
Dunaj, Dunaj, Dunaj, Dunaj, aj to širé pole,
len za jedným, len za jedným počešenie moje.
