Fire God
(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(Tune: "Don't Mess Around with Jim")
The West had got it's Mega-Dukes
The East has got it's Laurels
But Drachewald has got Lord Alexander
I tell ya he's a Fire God
Ya he's big and dumb
As a Lord can come
But he sure knows how to work a flame
An when the folks gather round the fire at night
You can hear them call out his name
Chorus:
Everybody shouts "Fire God!
The fires low
So please another log on
We need a little more heat
We want a fire that they can see on the moon
And will finally warm up our feet.
The Fire God came to Nordmark
To attend the Double Wars
At first he was grumpy
I tell ya, he acted real funny
For the first couple days or so
One night the wench needed fire
And only Alexander was close at hand
In a blink it was blazing
It was truly amazing
That's when we knew we he was God
Chorus:
So for the rest of war we were toasty
Cause we had a Fire God of our own
We were free to loot and to pillage
Cause we knew that village
Would burn when we came home
By day we would win all the battles
By day we would take the town
But the night's not complete
Without our special treat
Of burning it all to the ground
Chorus:
The Story Behind this Song
At Double Wars 1998, Lord Alexander was the primary fire tender.
And when the fire got low, there were shouts of fire god, etc. The title has stuck. As a bribe to fight
on one side of the Magna Carter Wars, the Fat Guys were promised that they would be able to burn the village.
Which we did that night around the camp fire one log at a time. Fat Guys as a rule like to burn things.
