I Take a Good Swing with My Mace

(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(Tune: "Tracks of my Tears" by W. Robinson, M. Tarplin, and W. Moore)

    Some folks would say, that I take it too easy
    Using Maul weapons when I fight in Wars
    By why should I be bored,
    Fighting with a shield and a sword.
    When its Florentine Mauls that satisfy me.

    (Chorus)
    I take a good swing with mace
    Then smash my ax right into a face
    When at a shield wall, I don't need much grace
    To kill with my mace

    Sure if your goal is to get Knighted
    You have to play with all different forms
    But my only goal
    Is a large death toll
    To take as many with me before I go

    Chorus

    I get my kicks by charging a shield Wall
    And try to punch a whole right thru
    And I will admit
    I get hacked up quite a bit
    But that's all right, as long as it stays fun

    Chorus

    Even when your foe has a great sword
    You can still pummel away
    Or when your on your knees
    You can still kill with ease
    Just do a drum roll up and down his side

    Chorus


History. The Story Behind this Song

 A response to some people who recently tried to give me some advice that I should use more weapons forms or I will "never get anywhere". They miss the point. Been there, Done That, Got the T-shirt, Burned it and Buried it. I first picked up a stick in 1974. At one point, Tennis Elbow forced me to fight right handed instead of left for a few years. It's not that I don't know how to use the other forms. I can do them either left or right handed. I just have the most fun fighting Ax and Mace. I'm not trying to "Get Anywhere". I'm quite happy right where I'm at. Thank you.
