Fatguys Banner - Vert, a tankard Or.

Sound of Slaughter

(by Lord Gorlan of the Red Lands, 1998)
(tune: "The Sound of Music" from The Sound of Music)

    The field is alive with the sound of slaughter.
    The screams of the slain surround our ears
    The field is alive with the sound of slaughter
    And when they're all dead we can drink some beers.

    The field is alive with the sound of slaughter
    And while they lie in their gore, we'll get their gold
    And latter that night, with some merchant's daughters
    We'll spend and cavort, until the dawn is old

    We came to war, looking for pay and booty
    But to tell you the truth, We'd do it for free
    We live for the chance to kill and get all sooty
    To set fire to the town is payment enough you see.

    The field is alive with the sound of slaughter
    The screams of the slain surround our ears
    The field is alive with the sound of slaughter
    And when they're all dead we can drink some beers.


History. The Story Behind this Song

 At an event a few months back, St Mattews tourney, the melees continued untill it was dark. As it got latter and latter, I could hear the beers in the cooler calling my name. This song and tune just came up.
