Lyrics:
BARD (Recitative):
There’s an oath that’s sworn to protect your land
From farms and fields to turrets manned
To the last of us we’ll make a stand
For we are of the North.

But there’s a crew that we look to
When the fog of war is at our door
And we’ll cry their names forever more
The heroes of the North!

The Bards of Midarland know their name
And tell of their exploits to entertain
And when times turn dark, we turn to light
And enlist our heroes to lead the fight!

Call: They are!

Answer: They are!

Call: They are!

Answer: They are!

BARD:
The Heroes of the North 
With them we’ll sally fourth 
The Warrior, Knight, the Maiden of Air 
The Archer too, do not despair
They are the heroes of the north!

War is a game of life and death
Where you dream of sleep with every breath
When you hasten your step to go to ground
And you race your mates to the burial mound
And when the dark comes crashing in
Wipe your eyes lift up your chin
Help is one it’s way my friend...
They’ll be with you to the end!

Call: They are!

Answer: They are!

Call: They are!

Answer: They are!

BARD: The Heroes of the North 
With them we’ll sally fourth 
The Warrior, Knight, the Maiden of Air 
The Archer too, do not despair
They are the heroes of the north!

(BRIDGE)
But... When it’s black as pitch and all seems lost
And You’ve tried to win at any cost
This game ain’t a game no more
But a death sentence was that oath you swore
And all of the me North is going to war!
With the...
The Heroes of the North 
With them we’ll sally fourth 
The Warrior, Knight, the Maiden of Air 
The Archer too, do not despair
They are the heroes of the north!

Call: They are!

Answer: They are!

Call: They are!

Answer: They are!

BARD:
The Heroes of the North 
With them we’ll sally fourth 
The Warrior, Knight, the Maiden of Air 
The Archer too, do not despair
They are the heroes of the north

Heroes Of The North

Lyrics:
Defiance sails the open sea with Sebastian 
At the helm
But before there was a man you see
Twas the worst in the realm

Now hear the tale of a man set sail
Without his ship and drowned
His ego bigger than a whale 
The Demise of the Nomad Sound

Sterling Defiance!
A bastard’s ship made true 
Sterling Defiance!
There ain’t no better crew

Now ol’ man James was a right old git 
Was a bugger fore and aft
Twas Eileen’s idea to make him walk the plank
Everyone thought she was daft

And then one day it came to be that 
the crew had had enough
Eileen’s idea ‘twas a fitting end
For a captain not so tough

Sterling Defiance!
The bugger walked the plank
Sterling Defiance!
The bastard up ‘n’ sank!

The crew was free of the man you see
They hated to their core
They drank and spat and sang aloud that
The Captain was no more

And to this day he’s still out there
his body like a buoy 
The sharks and crabs all hated him too
‘Cause his carcass was too chewy!

Sterling Defiance!
He met a fitting end
Sterling Defiance!
To the depths he was condemned!

Sterling Defiance!
The Nomad Sound’s no more
Sterling Defiance!
She’s the ship that we’d die for!

Sterling Defiance

Depending on the audience's choice, this could be the ending...

Additional lyrics: Brynn Doctor

"The Companions have been tasked to find the most powerful artifact in the world. The clock is ticking... all of the worlds depends on it. 

Off the Beaten Path is an adventure musical like no other. A tale of magic, sword fights, dungeon crawls and treasure, we follow an eclectic band of adventurers on their quest, “Don’t call it a quest, quest!” to find the Amulet of Khatara. 

Off the Beaten Path pays homage to all of the fantasy franchises that have come before it. From Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Choose Your Own Adventure, to World of Warcraft, Skyrim and Dungeons and Dragons, this Easter egg laden musical has it all."
