[BotRH] Jak O' the Shadows

[woolhead]

The archer staff is where it's at

Led by the wonderful Caddycat

And that guy Wooly, yeah he's "all that"

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

Gus and Odds deserve time and a half

Our Red Arms too, dealing with riff-raff

And That rounds out the great archer staff

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

Tale Of The Horse Caverns

 

 

Two Knights ride, the pasture near night.

Riva, Goldy, Blackwind ranges right,

Sunset, the day's no longer bright,

No wish to dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Wolf, a wraith, breaks from the brush,

Loping easy, not in a rush.

There's no sound, save one lone thrush

A song of life not for Jak o'th' Shadows.

 

Wolf Brother beckons, we should go.

Goldeneyes turns, Riva in tow,

Trailin' Blackwind into a hollow.

Do they ride to Jak o' th' Shadows?

 

Under a ledge it's roof an arch,

Cave door here but before they march,

Branch they need from a small larch.

To shed light on Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Into the cave, Blackwind leads,

Through a crevice, no room to breathe,

Into a room they cant believe.

In here there's no Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Walls almost smooth and nearly white,

Shimmer they do, in the torch light.

Behind, painted horses, left and right,

All thought fades of Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Goldy they live, I hear their thunder,

That they've survived, it's a wonder,

Been in here and never plundered.

They've seen ages but not Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Says Goldy, This place by the light

Puts a man in mind to write,

Exploits of the Cavalry's Knights,

Who dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

So here brave Riders of the Storm

In this place where dreams are born,

Where the Wheels weave has ne'r been torn,

Your names will live, but not Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

[Shadowgamer]

Who rides into battle upon a horse?

Why, it's the cavalry, of course

The Band's true power source

to dance with Jak O'the Shadows

 

Who sees every mission complete?

Of course, its not an easy feat

but the Cavalry can't be beat

when we dance with Jak O'the Shadows

[Taymist]

The Infantry

 

 

We'll take a seat and drink a brew

In the Red Hand Tav and fight there too

While Kris and Tay flirt all night through

To dance with with Jak o' the Shadows

 

We'll sleep all day and lounge at the Inn

We'll dice and joke, just watch us sin

While Raw Recruits train, swords make a din

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

There're some delight in spar and play

While Kie and kell work the Forge all day

But men know that the piper they must pay

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

We'll throw the cards however they fall

and cuddle with Lani or Northie, then crawl

Back to The Barracks to make our Roll Call

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

We'll watch as Footy leads Red Arms nine

And fines the MG when he's crossed the line

Then cheer as Apollo rocks the Band so fine

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

While Nighty bakes a cake with lime

And Ash flows through Forms on a dime

I'll take my chance to write this rhyme

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

[Auld Manriva]

Words To A Young Cavalryman

 

The Riders or the Storm we are.

The Bands best Regiment by far,

With us you'll shine just like a star,

Then dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

And when the fight has run it's course,

And you sit weary on your horse

Behind your tears, a smile you'll force.

You danced with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

And later you will hoist a brew,

And tell a boastful tale or two,

For friends you lost, and those friends who,

Will dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

[Auld Manriva]

My Sisters Brid and Tay

 

Brid and Taymist they did decide,

To ask Riva and risk their pride,

To band with them and then to ride,

To a dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Taymist's a bright and lovely Lass

But mind yer manners, don't be crass.

Or you'll be feedin' worms and grass,

While she dances with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

Bridmorgan , she's a toothsome wench,

But mind, when you see her fists clench,

You'll not find her upon a bench,

Be there a dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

 

So now these three stand side by side,

No knuckle heads they will abide,

But they're the best when on yer side,

To dance with Jak o' th' Shadows.

[Taymist]

Four months have passed in fun and glee

Since I came and chose the Infantry

And found a home that suited me

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

I found the Kafe and its owner, Kris

I named my sword, such utter bliss

I love the Band, what a place it is

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

I'm banded now to dear friends three

Who watch my back most faithfully

And take delight in sharing with me

A dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

My time I fill with writing JotS

and tying Raw Recruits in knots

So they don't become drunken sots

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

For one so wild at heart as me

This life we lead is oh so free

The dance of swords it is the key

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

[Taymist]

The Gleeman

 

There was a gleeman once, it's said

Who hid his Jingle Stick under his bed

When it was taken his eyes turned red

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

This gleeman was an Infant bold

With many a story to be told

and many a song that brought him gold

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

The Jester General he was labelled

And he around the band was fabled

The thief was going to be disabled

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

So off he went o'er hill and dale

Through storms of rain and wind and hail

He'd find the thief and on him wail

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

On the road his lady, Tay, he spied

With hair of red, she was green eyed

The sparks did fly when they did ride

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

They found the thief curled in a ball

Tired, he hid behind a wall

And on him then they both did fall

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

The Jester General turned around

With his Banded homeward bound

Now the Jingle Stick they'd found

To dance Jak o' the Shadows

[F Horn of Valere]

test

[woolhead]

Excel sheets are really boring

Enough to be absolutely snoring

Oh how I wish I was out exploring

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

When it's not pouring it's snowing

It really makes for some slow going

Especially when it's really blowing

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

On the road slipping and sliding

Forced to quickly do your deciding

Feels like you are really trail riding

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

It just means Christmas is coming

You can listen to the humming

Wish the bank account was more forthcoming

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

Around the tree singing and dancing

Always time for a little romancing

NO time to worry 'bout the financing

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

 

Then Odds went and made a sig

It looked like Avril, after a swig

Perhaps even during a silly gig

To dance with Jak o' the Shadows

[purplemonster]

[Morrigan Blackthorn]

There is a thread above this one where you only need to post your name and certain info about yourself to become a raw recruit. And yeah, it'll be fun ;)
