Lyrics

Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Crone,
Help us keep this land our own
Rover, Guardian, Hunter, Guide,
With us now forever ride!

Gold the dawn-sun spreads his wings
Follow where the East-wind sings
Brothers, sisters, side by side,
To defend our home we ride!

Eyes of Hawks the borders see–
Watches, guard it carefully
Let no stranger pass it by–
Children of the Hawk, now fly!

Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Crone,
Help us keep this land our own
Rover, Guardian, Hunter, Guide,
With us now forever ride!

Speed of Deer, oh grant to these–
Swift to warn of enemies,
Fleeter far then any foe–
Deer-child, to the border go!

Cunning as the Wolf-pack now,
To no overlord we bow!
Lest some lord our freedom blight,
Brothers of the Wolf now fight!

Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Crone,
Help us keep this land our own
Rover, Guardian, Hunter, Guide,
With us now forever ride!

Brave, the great Cat guards his lair,
Teeth to rend and claws to tear
Lead the battle, first to last,
Children of the Cat, hold fast!

Hawk and Cat, and Wolf and Deer,
Keep the Plains now safe from fear,
Brothers, sisters, side by side,
To defend our home, we ride!

Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Crone,
Help us keep this land our own
Rover, Guardian, Hunter, Guide,
With us now forever ride!

Gold the dawn-sun spreads his wings
Follow where the East-wind sings
Brothers, sisters, side by side,
To defend our home we ride!

Eyes of Hawks the borders see–
Watches, guard it carefully
Let no stranger pass it by–
Children of the Hawk, now fly!

Maiden, Warrior, Mother, Crone,
Help us keep this land our own
Rover, Guardian, Hunter, Guide,
With us now forever ride!
With us now forever ride!
With us now forever ride!

I love how the SS13's admins midi led me to listen Leslie Fish's songs then led me to discover the hidden gems of Filk genre.

I love all of her songs, as well as her novels from "The Mage Wars" trilogy (Black Gryphon, White Gryphon, etc...) To Mage storms Trilogy.

[greatazuredragon]

Listened to this again and again and can't get enough.

[TheFoxfiend]

Dang, I really like this song. I recognize the Maiden, Mother, and Crone, as sort of the witch trinity sort of thing, not familiar with Warrior though, I'm guessing not quite the same culture, or an aspect that I just am not familiar with.

[naomiklijs]

Hey, I am writing a book and this is a great inspiration for me. Thank you! ( I wanted to use this song in my book but alas this song belongs to another story. Anyway, still enjoy this)

[robertlewis]

I love the wonderul use of asyndeton in this rousing song.

[elliumsoverseer]

Old song, but this reminds me of the Forsworn of Skyrim’s Reach. The Reachmen of Skyrim.

[JWolfcat]

Maiden and Warrior are separate, this Goddess has four faces.

[SporkfDoom]

I find it painfully moving to hear a song about people coming together set to a battle anthem about denying the self in the name of violence.

This is a beautiful version of a bloody and vengeful song. I love both tunes, but ever appreciate each for the juxtaposition to the other

[AvaTheFaeva]

I'm a little uneducated in regards to what "Shin'a'in" is, would anyone know a good place to learn more about that, cus I don't even know how to pronounce it but my mind is very curious. =)
Regardless, thanks for the wonderful video!! And don't forget to drink plenty of water irl today! =D

This came on while I was playing a missed skyrim I was defending Nigerian from a attack

[triumvir_hunt]

oh this is so annoying. i have heard this song a bit differently from another singer but i can't remember the songs name or that artist.

[branphillips]

It's maiden warrior, not maid and warrior. Maiden warrior, mother, crone: the three aspects of the Triple Goddess known as the Morrigan.

[EllAntares]

Judging by names.. is this inspired by Witch World series?

[derphoof]

Come on nobody thinks this would fit with game of thrones?

[MichalSoukup]

After fist two verses i thought, ASoIaF?

[peterwall]

Home ? The people of the star eyed had no home. Nomads and wanderers all of them.
The plains of the sacrifice, are their burden. Theirs' to guard, for under them sleep weapons to end the world itself.

[alexiswinterborn]

i hate to say this is a ripoff of march of the cambreadth. but it is
