Awesome people do stupid things together! ^^

Rooster, Rooster

Mel.: The Rising of the Moon

1.
Oh, come tell me, mighty dragon
What your feast has been tonight?
Well, I ate a noisy rooster
In the early morning light
He kept crowing about valor
And he was a sorry sight
But devouring him has added
To my wisdom and my might

To my wisdom and my might
To my wisdom and my might
But devouring him has added
To my wisdom and my might

2.
And come tell me, mighty dragon
Have you found a worthy foe?
Well, I met a daring lion
Who annoyed me even so
While its teeth and claws were sharpened
And we fought throughout the night
In the end I claimed a victory
For wisdom and for might

Oh, for wisdom and for might
Oh, for wisdom and for might
In the end I claimed a victory
For wisdom and for might

3.
Well, come tell me, mighty dragon
What you dined upon today?
Well, I met a silver phoenix
And the bird got in my way
Now, for sure it was courageous
Quite impressive taking flight
But its burning flame was swallowed up
By wisdom and by might

Oh, by wisdom and by might
Oh, by wisdom and by might
But its burning flame was swallowed up
By wisdom and by might

4.
Then, come tell me, mighty dragon
Who lies here, beneath your feet?
Well, this was a muddy golem
Too disgusting for to eat
It was quite the boring battle
Hardly worth calling a fight
But I guess it only goes to show
My wisdom and my might

Oh, my wisdom and my might
Oh, my wisdom and my might
But I guess it only goes to show
My wisdom and my might

Wisdom and Might (Faust)

Hymn of Czocha

YeaaaH! House Sendivogius, baby! ;)

Cille wrote the wonderful lyrics and I found a melody for it.

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Born out of ashes 
We aim for the sun 
Glowing and knowing 
what we'll become 
Unfold our wings
get ready to fly
a single beat down
and we soar through the sky 

And we burn with the warmth of a thousand hearts 
We yearn for combustion, a whole new start 
Sendivogius may come apart 
But we always rise again 

Courageous each phoenix 
the bravest of all 
though fear may besiege us 
we rise to the call 
We enter as flickers 
and turn into flames 
Diplomacy teaches 
The name of the game 

Chorus

With honor we leap 
from ashes we fly 
defending our morals 
with sparks in our eyes 

And we burn with the warmth of a thousand hearts 
We yearn for combustion, a whole new start 
Sendivogius may come apart 
But we always rise again


Burn (with the Warmth of Thousand Hearts)

Hymn of Czocha Orchestral (Melody by Rikke Munchkin)

Le Courrier  (The Mail)

Text by Frederik Nissen

The Golem came rolling down the hill
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Lion was stubborn, standing still
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Felt mighty and strong, that giant cat
The Golem crushed the lion Flat.
And the Golem kept on rolling down the hill

The Golem was rolling down the street
Hurrah! Hurrah!
A feathery rooster tried to tweet
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The bird was standing in his track
He kicked it to the Moon and back
And the Golem kept on rolling on down the street

The Golem was rolling through the air
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Phoenix flying without a care
Hurrah! Hurrah!
They both collided, a mighty crash
The bird of fire turned to ash
And the Golem kept rolling on through the air

The Golem came rolling down the cave
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Soon to be a Dragon’s grave
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For the Golem took the Dragon’s tail
He picked off all its shiny scales
And the Golem kept on rolling on down the cave

The Golem came rolling to our House
Molin! Molin!
Cunning and loyalty, we rouse
Molin! Molin!
In Czocha College we’re standing strong
A family where we all belong
And the Golem kept on rolling on all the way

The Tavern at Czocha has left an impact on many - about time there was a song to it. ;) 

Lyrics:
When you cross the bridge
to our mighty school
You’ll see a pretty door on the right
The teachers know this place
and the students too
It’s a place where nobody fights!

It’s the….

TAVERN, TAVERN – but first the homework must be done
TAVERN, TAVERN – a seat for everyone!
TAVERN, TAVERN – but only with a teacher’s grace
TAVERN, TAVERN – come and have a taste!

The lectures can be dull
for an empty skull
A student must stay in the class
Relief has many shades
and when the sunlight fades
If you’ve done homework – you’ll pass

Into the…
CHORUS

The Tavern is for all
Five houses and the staff
But don’t forget your own common room
The school is what you chose
the inn is just a plus
And if you’re too drunk, that’s your doom!

Chorus
Tavern, Tavern - come and have a taste
Tavern, Tavern - come and have a taste.

I shamelessly stole this wonderful picture of Erik Mathy's creation - but it really fits well to my inner picture of what happens in the tavern. :P

Melody: River Driver - Great big Sea
(intro)
I was just a tiny pipsqueak when I first came into school
All alone inside the castle, I was looking quite the fool
That’s when I heard the laughter, to the henhouse I did roam
Now I’m a strutting rooster and I’ve finally found my home!
(Chorus)
I`ll prank when I am playful and ill drink when I am dry,
Do homework when I feel ready, stand firm here by your side,
And if this school doesn’t kill meeeee,
Ill surely swagger on,
Cause I’m a strutting rooster and I’ve finally found my home!
(Unity)
Now uniting all the roosters, is brotherhood and heart,
Stand arm in arm together, as we all will do our part,
So come and join our circle, so come and join our song,
Cause among the strutting roosters that is where we all belong!
I`ll prank when I am playful…
(Fighting)
Now the duty of the rooster is to stand for what is right
So with beak and tail and talons, you know were gonna fight
cause when the roosters rally, there’s a fear in every eye
Cause the strutting roosters crowing is the strongest battle cry!
I`ll prank when I am playful…
(Fearlessness)
Now the Bravery of the roosters it reaches to the moon,
And if you challenge our spirit, you’re sure to see it soon,
Cause we will stare down the demons, we`ll make the fae take flight,
Cause the strutting roosters laughs at death, then bites him out of spite!
I`ll prank when I am playful…
 (Valor)
Now the valor of a rooster, we find in every strife,
Give us a call to glory, you’ll see us spring to life
So write us into legend, till among the stars we stand
Cause when the strutting roosters win you know it will be grand!
I`ll prank when I am playful…
 (Diligence)
Now inside of every rooster, there burns a glowing will,
With diligence and passion, we never quite sit still
Cause once we find our purpose, we never really stop
Cause the strutting rooster doesn’t quit until it sits on top!
I`ll prank when I am playful…
(To the tavern!)
Now the school day may be over, the battles may be won, 
But I tell you now my roosters, our day is far from done,
Cause next to Czocha a tavern, and you know it isn’t news,
That the strutting rooster isn’t whole until it gets some booze!
I`ll prank when I am playful…
 (Drink)
Now we`re roosting in the tavern like its our very own
Drink all right under the table, they fall just like a stone
Cause when the cocks they party, there’s no room left to think
Cause we`re the strutting roosters and we know just how to drink!
I`ll prank when I am playful…
 (Farewell)
And one day we shall leave her, our castle home behind,
And better folk than the roosters, I know ill never find
But ill bear this crest with honor, till the day I finally fall,
And ill strut just like a rooster and bid farewell to you all!
I`ll prank when I am playful…

Do not feel in any way bound to sing the verses in this order, or even to sing the chorus every time! Make this song your own, just like a true rooster would. And please feel free to add your own verses ^^
