Let's hear it for the brave sons of Aurelia! Though their sacrifice was in vain their glory is eternal. Let us honor our fallen foe with a new song by none other than the great Captain Tholm of Clan Meerslatchten, and let never the sons of the isle reap such horror upon eachother. To you my brother-enemy! The Crusade only begins! ----------------------------------- Song of Crimson Lyrics Since I was a boy, they would say, hey lad you’re gonna be a hero one day. They put me on a ship and they made me sail away, to a strange land, where I fight every day, And I say, Hey, I want to go home Now I want to get away but they make me stay, and the shore way home is so far away It’s like they say, drove Slaughter from the Bay, but the mad-men rule and they’re here to stay, And I say, Hey, I want to go home Got stuck in the Sound and I think I’m gonna drown, there’s swamp-born dead-men draggin’ me down. Now I know why momma cried, I met many friends and I’ve seen them die. With Tyrs in my eyes I call to the sky, And I say, Hey, I want to go home Now they sent me to the Valley, they sent me to die, can’t see tomorrow with blood in your eyes We march in the heat, the marching never stops, we march towards devil-men with hearts of rock Now they say, it’s time to go away, my time is up and I don’t have to stay, They say I’m going home, it’s time to rest, with my duty done and a hole through my chest, And I say, Hey, I want to go home They say, Hey, you’re finally home.
