Ralo's Marching Song
Author: Ralo

I once knew a girl named Kitara Laroun,
She had the sweetest face in the town.
I call her mine and she calls me dear,
But now she’s in town and I’m way out here!

Chaos has landed so we’re sent to march
In full pack and the heat we’ll march and we’ll march!
The bells’ll ring nightfall and at dawn they’ll gong,
And we’ll still be march-march-march-marching along!

Keep My Feet on the Land
Author: Dirom Nilard

I don’t like the water;
I don’t like the sky.
The sea makes me totter,
And I’ll never fly!

Keep my feet on the land,
Or my seat on a horse.
My terrain’s earth and sand-
Or stone floors, of course!

Angels and dragons- you’re crazy, Isay!
High in the air, with the land far below.
I’ll take the ground, if I may, if I may,
Where apples and peaches for me will grow!

And don’t you mers fear the jaws
That snap in the unknown?
Sijaer and sharks don’t know laws-
I’ll leave water alone!

Keep my feet on the land,
Or my seat on a horse.
My terrain’s earth and sand-
Or stone floors, of course!

Bondclass Trainee's Worksong
Author: Viaryn Plainsdancer

Training mistress, training mistress, where are you now?
We aren’t busy enough! Please show us how
To work just as hard as you,
So we can tell trainees just what to do!

Training mistress, training mistress, work us some more!
Since you won’t do your own work, we’ll work till we’re sore.
You call it learning- we call it labor,
But make us work, make us work, make us work more!

Treasure Hunter
Author: Bairan Fletcher

Well there I was a-traveling
Through the mountains of StarScape,
When I entered through a cave
And landed in a scrape!

For there in front of my goal
Something took me by surprise:
For sitting there upon a knoll
Was a lady with blue eyes.

But this was no mundane, oh no,
That much I could tell,
She was an element of ice, uh-oh,
And her coldness promised Hell!

My heart was pounding, pounding in dread,
But I could not be swayed,
Instead I merely kept my head
And right there I stayed.

'Fairest maiden, you do hold
A treasure I must find.
If I might dare to be so bold,
Would you make it mine?'"

"'I think not,' the woman said,
'Such a high price can't be paid.'
And a half-baked plot went through my head:
'Fair one, have you in true pleasure played?'

"Now of course the poor dear
Had never known that game,
So I swallowed all my fear
And now we're not the same:

For now I know, within my turn,
This truth that I will say:
Truest pleasure strikes and burns
Anywhere, ev'ry which way!

And that, my dears, is how I came
To be here today,
With a treasure in my pocket
And a Hells of a good lay!

Author: Unknown, as performed by Meirou Nightway

Close your eyes, little one,
Forget all your worries for tonight.
Close your eyes, little one,
For tomorrow will come and all will be right.

Fear not, little one,
For all is well, in every one everywhere.
Fear not, little one,
For we are here, stroking your hair.

Sleep well, little one,
Bathed in light from the moon above.
Sleep well, little one,
For we are here with all our love.

Sweet dreams, little one.

Love Song
Author: Unknown, as recorded by the An'em Changeling Pack

Gods keep these candles burning bright,
Never fading from our sight.
To Their spirits make known nigh:
A love that burns and will not die.
Make them one forevermore,
Stronger now than apart before.
To Their spirits make known nigh:
A love that burns and will not die.

The! Kho! Ri~! Nath!

(C’mon everybody, you know this one. It’s that damn SpongeBob Squarepants theme.)

OOOOHHHH, WHO LIVES IN THE DARKEST DEPTHS OF THE SEA?
THE! KHO! RI! NATH!
THEY’RE WISE AND ANCIENT AND MASSIVE, YOU SEE!
(THE! KHO! RI! NATH!)
BUT IF YOU DON’T WANT TO GET YOUR TAIL KICKED,
(THE! KHO! RI! NATH!)
THEN MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE RIGHT COURSE IS PICKED!
THE! KHO! RI! NATH!
THE! KHO! RI! NATH!
THE! KHO! RI! NATH!
THE KHOOOOOOORI’NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH!

Not Sorrow
Author: Sway Swelter

Don't sigh like you mean something sad
Like you've tied up your songs in a satchel and
Haven't we heard this tune before
You sing it every time you're about to cry.

Don't cry, don't cry
Time comes, time flies
It's like a memory we can't keep
Sometimes it's easier to live and let die
But don't cry, don't cry
Nothing is lost tonight.

The moon is blue like it saw something sad
Like the island committed a crime
Some tragedy played on the land tonight
Perhaps that's why the coyote cries.

Don't cry, don't cry
Time comes, time flies
It's like a memory we can't keep
Sometimes it's easier to live and let die
But don't cry, don't cry
Nothing is lost tonight.

Don't cry, don't cry
Nothing is lost tonight
Listen to the coyote sing
His songs are not sorrows
Your songs need not sorrow
Come, sweet, don't cry, don't cry...
