Rise to Fight (Patreon)

SO I posted a WIP of this a while ago, but good news everyone, it's done and finalized!

This was written for an old friend who has a whole friggin fantasy world they're building, AND it includes animal people. Look at this ART. They even drew my PAWS.

Lyrics:

Rise to Fight

Chorus:

Take one step, make another wish

die tonight or it’s the long way home

fire or run when you hear the other comin’

Rise to fight another damn day

I was a young man of 16 years

oway oway oway oh

Me mother had begged me not to go

but me heart belongs to the

rifle and the road

ay oway oway-ee

Chorus

The empire made a grave mistake

by taking a gift not meant to harm

their war machines got a glowing lucky charm

Then one dark day in Somerton

The people said they could take no more

so the streets ran red. There were bodies by the score

as a private in the service i made my stand

we marched halfway to Myrtleglade

and we set up camp by the river in the shade

Me regiment awoke to the flash of blue

those alchemists took what they could find

’twas the life of a sister and the leg I left behind

It’s been a long year since I got back home

this stump may ache when’er it rains

but the songs of rebellion take away my pain
