For Lycurgus
************
_Words and Music: Andrixos Seljukroctonis
MIDI / NWC / PDF _
A noble man of passions strong,
From freshest bloom of youth.
He made his path, oft right, oft wrong,
But spoke unwatered truth.
_He drank of life much more than most,
And savored 'til the end
So lift your glass and say a toast
To Duke, to Knight, to Friend._
Two neighbor realms this man did share,
Outlands and Calontir.
The Stag amd Falcon's heart laid bare.
Each kingdom sheds sad tears.
_He drank of life much more than most,
And savored 'til the end
So lift your glass and say a toast
To Duke, to Knight, to Friend._
He is now free from struggles all,
From pain, from toil, from strife.
Though he did fight the Reaper's Call,
Too large he was for life.
_He drank of life much more than most,
And savored 'til the end
So lift your glass and say a toast
To Duke, to Knight, to Friend._
For each man Death shall call his name,
When comes the end of time.
But 'ere I live I'll sing his fame
'Til I find for orange a rhyme.
_He drank of life much more than most,
And savored 'til the end
So lift your glass and say a toast
To Duke, to Knight, to Friend._
