Walk On

A song made hastily for Profound Decisions' Empire LRP festival - celebrating Taric Thornsbane's famous drink!

Woeful-looking but wonderful-tasting: the 'Bregasland Brew'! Fresh from the heart of the Marches.

LYRICS

Here's a drink there's one for everyone,
Here's a drink there's one for everyone,
Here's a drink there's one for everyone,
One Bregasland Brew.

Here's a drink there's one for everyone,
Here's a drink there's one for everyone,
Here's a drink there's one for everyone,
One Bregasland Brew.

Give me one more drink,
One more song, one more dance and then I'm through!
While the nobles pine for the Dawnish wine,
They long for the Bregasland Brew!

Give me one more drink,
One more song, one more dance and then I'm through!
While the nobles pine for the Dawnish wine,
They long for the Bregasland Brew,
Oh they long for the Bregasland Brew!

Here's a drink there's two for everyone,
Here's a drink there's two for everyone,
Here's a drink there's two for everyone,
Two Bregasland Brews.

Here's a drink there's two for everyone,
Here's a drink there's two for everyone,
Here's a drink there's two for everyone,
Two Bregasland Brews.

Give me one more drink,
One more song, one more dance and then I'm through!
While the nobles pine for the Dawnish wine,
They long for the Bregasland Brew!

Give me one more drink,
One more song, one more dance and then I'm through!
While the nobles pine for the Dawnish wine,
They long for the Bregasland Brew,
Oh they long for the Bregasland Brew!

Here's a drink there's three for everyone,
Here's a drink there's three for everyone,
Here's a drink there's three for everyone,
Three Bregasland Brews.

Here's a drink there's three for everyone,
Here's a drink there's three for everyone,
Here's a drink there's three for everyone,
Three Bregasland Brews.

Give me one more drink,
One more song, one more dance and then I'm through!
While the nobles pine for the Dawnish wine,
They long for the Bregasland Brew!

Give me one more drink,
One more song, one more dance and then I'm through!
While the nobles pine for the Dawnish wine,
They long for the Bregasland Brew,

WAHEY

Bregasland Brew

This is a song for the Profound Decisions' live-roleplay system Empire.

It was a recorded, engineered and mixed at home on my somewhat rudimentary studio equipment. 

Lyrics:

Verse 1
How can you pretend to know of violence,
Sitting, reading fairy tales of war?
Tell me what's the worst that you can fear! A papercut?
My Dawnish friend, our wounds are deeper still.

Chorus
Ai! Ai-ee-eh! Ai-ee-eh!
Ai! Ai-ee-eh! Ai-ee-eh!

Verse 2
The borders of The Empire are too fragile,
To let an enemy get half-a-chance.
Kill them where you can,
Use everything you have to hand.
Noble grace will send you to your grave.

Chorus

Verse 3 with bridge.
The Striding walks the trod to save our homeland.
The Steading guards the wood 'till they return.
You would blindly wander in alone?
You cannot see.
You cannot hear.
There in the deep...
The Vallorn lie....
They never sleep...
They're waiting...

Chorus (x2)

Verse 4
On the road, the paths we tread are endless.
The weariness will wear you to the bone.
The enemy will wait for you to stumble.
With vigilance, your only coat of steel.

Chorus (x2)



Caution For The Dawnish Youth

This is a song for the Profound Decisions' live-roleplay system Empire.  It is meant as a duet for a male and female singer, so this recording is a placeholder until I can record a duet version.

This Version 2 recorded in 2020 at my home using Reaper.  It is a placeholder until I get a proper duet version with another singer.

Verse 1 (Navarr)
Into the eve'ning,
My lover, we're leaving.
No time left for grieving.
Our oaths we fulfil.

Our lives we will offer.
A step to here-after.
A future made better,
For Terunael

Chorus (Thorn)
Aye, my lover. 
A sudden farewell.
Aye, my lover. 
A sudden farewell.

Verse 2 (Thorn)
Long we've provided,
Our people we guidance,
Without us, their stridings,
Will travel a far.

Our future decided,  
Before we're divided,
Let's lie here united,
As Thorn and Navarr.

Chorus (Navarr)

Bridge (Thorn)
Hear me x4

Verse 3 (Navarr)
We should be preparing,
And what you're suggesting,
Would use, though its tempting, 
What time we have ill.
 
Soon, when we're long gone,
Our people embark on,
An exodus begun,
For Terunael.


Chorus (Thorn)

Bridge x2 (Navarr then Thorn)

Verse 4 (Thorn)
Your hard dedication,
Is all to your credit,
But we've done all we can,
and we have to let go.

Let's show we have no doubt,
For soon we will bow out.
But the dance will continue
With other heroes.

Verse 5 (Navarr)
Then let us make our rest,
And lie in the forest,
And let us show our trust,
In those who follow.

Let this be a lesson,
To trust in your brethren,
As our fore-bearers once did,
For Terunael.

Coda (both)
Aye, my lover,
For Terunael
 (Repeat to end)

A Sudden Farewell

A very silly Malhann track first played at Empire E2 2023. Joined by Tarik (Andrew Ruddick) on the guitar and extra vocal flavour. To the bards of Empire : you rock. To the patrons of the bards of Empire: you rock more. 

Pay your f****ing bard

Lyrics by Eskah Swift Hart and Torin Swift Hart
Guitar by Sebastian Broken-Bough

Voice of Navarr

My newest filk for Empire LARP
Inspired from The Longest Johns song Off to Sea

Run the Trods

Rough attempt at the filk of Crow on the cradle. will probably replace with a cleaner version at some point

Songs of the Twofeet

Crow on the cradle

"Stop! Please!" 
The Cambion woman begged. She looked on as her daughter held a blade to her own skull and began sawing through one of her horns under the command of the brutish Thule orc standing over her. Gritting her teeth Narelle forced the rusted metal through the ivory. Trembling, she held out her hand. Still clutching her bloodied horn. His grey face peered down at her with a sickening joy painted across its features. He paused for a moment, and grinned. And without breaking eye contact he said, quietly,
"Take the mother away."
 Narelle felt her stomach drop. She watched helplessly as her mother was dragged kicking and screaming through the dust-choked hallway. Overwhelmed by rage, brought to a crescendo by the pain in her head, Narelle hurled her broken horn at her captor with an almighty cry striking him square in the back of his skull. The orc turned to face her once more, a terrible fury burning in his eyes... 

Ivory Daggers is a song set and written within the world of Empire, a festival larp in the UK.
It tells the tale of a Cambion woman and her family, living under the tyrannical rule of the Thule when they seized the Runeforges of Treji in 373YE.

Inspired and derived from "Age of Agression" From The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Ivory Daggers

A cover of a phenomenal song and a Songs and Stories classic. Written and performed by Idwyn Splitroot, this song is easily recognisable as one of the best, and one to know for singing around the fire. Massive thanks to her <3 Go check out the rest of her stuff! (https://soundcloud.com/gabrielle-joanne-198076671)

At the E4 Virtual Songs and Stories livestream, I performed a cover of this song, and I felt it was one of my best performances I had done of any song ever. So I recorded it, and here we are.
