A Grazing Mace

A grazing mace, how sweet the blow
That killed a wretch like me.
I once was up but now I'm down.
A grazing mace killed me.

My knight has promised help for me
He'll save my ass for sure.
He will my shield wall anchor be
As long as life endure.

That mace has slain ten thousand foes
All sweating in the sun.
I'd no more grace to duck that mace
I was ten thousand one.

A grazing mace, how sweet the blow
That killed a wretch like me.
I once was up but now I'm down.
A grazing mace killed me.

Below are preview mp3s from Calontir Songbook [Calontir Practice CD].  This CD was reportedly produced by Mathurin [Kerbusso(?)] in Forgotten Sea (Kansas City).  One of the singers is Dorus Whitecap and we recognize the voice of Simonetta [Musaragni?].

We received our copy of the practice CD from Fernando Rodriguez De Falcon.
