Midrealm Anthems

The Dragon of the Midrealm
(aka Midrealm Rise)

Tune: "Sound the Pibroch"
Lyrics by: Hilla Stormbringer

Note: This was written in Lucien’s reign, and the chorus
went “Rise and follow Lucien”,
 but the name of the current
monarch may be sung in place, as below.

Rise, oh Midrealm, heed the call,
You gallant sons and daughters all,
Now raise the standard proud and tall,
The Dragon of the Midrealm!

[CHORUS]
Rise, rise, Midrealm!
Rise, rise, Midrealm!
Rise, rise, Midrealm rise!
Rise and follow Louis!

South Oaken is a fabled land
Brave deeds are done by gallant hands
Now gather all you warrior bands!
For the Dragon of the Midrealm!

[CHORUS]

North Oaken, as the songs do tell
Is where the mighty heroes dwell.
Their numbers will our army swell!
The Dragon of the Midrealm!

[CHORUS]

The fighters of fair Pentamere
Our enemies do rightly fear.
Now let them march and raise the cheer
For the Dragon of the Midrealm! 

[CHORUS]

Proud Constellation shall not fail,
And all who fight against them quail
Like stars their shining coats of mail
For the Dragon of the Midrealm!

[CHORUS]

In Midlands valiant deeds are done
On prairie fields beneath the sun.
From battle they shall never run!
The Dragon of the Midrealm!

[CHORUS]

And now the time is near at hand
To honor oaths and proudly stand!
To fight for King and Queen and Land,
For the Dragon of the Midrealm!

Rise, rise, Midrealm!
Rise, rise, Midrealm!
Rise, rise, Midrealm rise!
Rise and follow Louis!

Rise, rise, Midrealm!
Rise, rise, Midrealm!
Rise, rise, Midrealm rise!
And cry, "Draco Invictus!"

Voice of the Dragon

Written by Emil Allzuwissender

Oh, ye dwellers of the Midrealm, hear my puny voice
The symbol of our kingdom offers you a potent choice
Stand aloof and watch afar playing with your toys
Or help to blow the trumpet of the dragon’s mighty voice

[CHORUS]
For the dragon guards our kingdom
His power our security
Our fighters form his talons
Our customs keep his soul
The chivalry his energy
The arts his beauty hold
Let the service of his realm
Be my freely chosen goal

Oh, ye men of weapons knowledge, of you there is a need
The enemy at sunrise on the dragon realm would feed
Stand aloof and watch afar and fear the Eastern greed
Or help to show the tiger that the dragon he must heed

[CHORUS]

Oh, ye dancers and ye singers, ye scribers this way peer
You bring beauty to the world, you bring joy and cheer
Stand aloof and watch afar and cry at what you hear
Or help to spread the splendor of the dragon far and near

[CHORUS]

Midrealm Goes To War

Lyrics: Charles of Whitehorse
Music: adapted from Men of Harlech - Trad

Can't you hear the Dragon roaring.
For valiant fighters bathed in glory
Deeds and courage live in stories
When Midrealm goes to war.
Feel the ground neath marchers shaking
Ranks of foe men will be breaking
Hide beneath their shields a quaking
Midrealm's gone to war

[CHORUS]
The Dragon Crown before us,
Lift your banners high.
On we march to victory.
For Midrealm we will raise our battle cry!
Fight to win but fight with honor
Arrayed in all our armoured splendor
Rally to the Dragon Banner
Midrealm's gone to war

See the rows of helmets gleaming
Hear the terrified foe screaming
Lost beyond hope of redeeming
Midrealm's gone to war
Drive our vanquished foe before us.
Till for mercy they implore us
Our ranks do join in joyful chorus
Midrealm's gone to war!

[CHORUS]
