_Friends lend your ears unto my words while I sing you the fall of Kings._<br>
<br>
Rise for King Tancred<br>
<br>
Rise for the Fray<br>
Rise for the Staufen host has come<br>
Your fealty and lands to claim.<br>
<br>
_Rise for your honor<br>
<br>
Rise for the fray<br>
Rise for if we fall this day we rise no more!_<br>
<br>
Rise for King Tancred<br>
<br>
Rise for the Fray<br>
Rise up for Naples Norman Lords<br>
Or our kingdom for their lives they'll trade.<br>
<br>
_Rise for your honor<br>
<br>
Rise for the fray<br>
Rise for if we fall this day we rise no more!_<br>
<br>
Rise for King Tancred<br>
<br>
Rise for the Fray<br>
Rise for your fate is writ in steel<br>
By the deeds that you do this day<br>
<br>
_Rise for your honor<br>
<br>
Rise for the fray<br>
Rise for if we fall this day we rise no more!_<br>
<br>
Rise for King Tancred<br>
<br>
Rise for the Fray<br>
Rise up you brave men of Leece<br>
_(pronounced Le-chey like Spanish for milk)_<br>
Your liberty and lord to save.<br>
<br>
Final:<br>
<br>
Rise for King Tancred<br>
Rise one and all<br>
Rise for they bear him still and cold<br>
May the angels attend his soul.<br>
Rest on your honors lord<br>
Rest from the fray<br>
Rest for we fell this day<br>
To rise no more.<br>
