This was written specifically for us, by a bard friend. It's written for the Forgotten Realms setting, in case you lose track of some of the names. Here are his words.
A Song for thee.....I call it....
The Song of MacLear
------or--------
The Great, Grand, Gory, and Glorious, Whip-em-Into-an-Orgasmic-Battle-Frenzy, Blacken the Hills with Bodies,
Yee-Hah Let's Kick Some Kitty Butt And Go Have Ale, MacLear Doo Dah Ditty
We scamper 'neath the Snowflake's wing;
Final rest to all we bring!
On the field, in Bardic Ring,
MacLear s come upon you!
MacLear s dancing on your head,
By the valiant NosFerum led.
Run away or you'll be dead!
MacLear s come upon you!
Warriors, we, with many tale untold;
We are clawed and armed and valiant bold!
Welcome to our frigid world.
MacLear s come upon you!
Dragons or griffins on our shield?
Nay! To that we cannot yield!
"North" is "nord," but what is "field"?
MacLear s come upon you!
Belting you in your butts;
Claws and swords that slash and cut!
Yah, sure, we like gore and guts!
MacLear s come upon you!
From the Canon we do hail.
There we bathe and tell our tale.
Its waters rush on without fail.
MacLear s come upon you!
Hammer rampant, colored gold:
Brave are we, and also bold!
(Just wish we weren't so darn cold!)
MacLear s come upon you!
Saints and Dragons, and romantics:
Courtly Love and Bardic Schtick:
Last courts, Underhill, take your Pick!
MacLear s come upon you!
Our names as fearsome as our bite;
Un-spellable, a dreadful sight:
Beware if you don't say them right!
MacLear s come upon you!
In vowels and consonants we reign;
Names never cease more length to gain.
Proudly known as Herald's Bane!
MacLear s come upon you!
Singing "Landlord" night and day.
Freak the mundanes so they stay
Far out of our fearsome way.
MacLear s come upon you!
Packed with valor in Tempus' care,
Battle-mobile extrordinaire!
"Are we almost halfway there?"
MacLear s come upon you!
From spirit's hill to land of Knights
We'll scurry to our gath'ring sites
Romp we to our hearts' delight.
MacLear s come upon you!
Our natures blithe, but be it known:
We answer danger with fearless tone.
If threat come to one of our own,
MacLear s come upon you!
See our martial diligence.
Teach us all to fight and fence:
Soon you'll need some more defense!
MacLear s come upon you!
Like the winter's harshest cold;
Like the valiant warriors of old;
Like the wolf upon the fold;
MacLear s come upon you!
MacLear s from high upon the hill,
MacLear s from river valley will
Unite to sing and fight and kill!
MacLear s come upon you!
We in coats of gold and black,
Tail to tail and back to back,
Singing as we slash and hack!
MacLear s come upon you!
Though you fought in battle brave,
Nothing now your souls can save.
Piling rocks upon your grave,
MacLear s come upon you!
His most exalted Tempus stands,
Guarding us in foreign lands--
Seneschals and travelling bands.
MacLear s come upon you!
Should stranded by the road we be
In need of aid or transport free
Who saves us but Tempus you see?
MacLear s come upon you!
