THE LEGION OF THE BLACKSPEAR
By Sean De La Mare
Sung to the tune of "Legion of the rearguard"

Hail the Crown Atlantia, we raise your battle cry,
Henry and Boehmond your swords we never deny,
Eager and ready, for valor's sake they die
Proud march the soldiers of the Blackspear.

Chorus:
Legion of the Blackspear, answering Atlantia's call,
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Storvik to Nottings' coil.
Hon-or, Bravery guide you, though your task be hard,
Don-o-van he leads you, to the Blackspear.


Glorious the morning, through blood and sword and flame,
Now rally Atlantia, your sons who love you well
Pledged, they'll defend you, through death or prison cell
Wait for the soldiers of the Blackspear.

(chorus)

Crimson the roadside, the enemy slain and gone,
Proof of their valor, go sleep in peace ye brave,
Comrade tread lightly, you're near a hero's grave,
Proud die the soldiers of the Blackspear.

(chorus)

In honor of Finn O'Donovan
