Lord Wallace’s men on the road again, by the light of a double moon,<\/em>
\nHad a brush with death.\u00a0 If I have the breath I’ll sing you a battle tune<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While marching along they could do no wrong in a land that was far from home,<\/em>
\nThen a dragon fierce with a cry that pierced put a stop to that cheerful roam.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Hammer o’ the North was first to come forth with a hideous rain o’ blows,<\/em>
\nWhile Soldier Dane, a mighty swain, a feather’d arrow chose<\/em><\/p>\n

The holy monk from the battle shrunk, he being a man of peace.<\/em>
\nWe crept away with our faces gray from the rage o’ that fearsome beast.<\/em><\/p>\n

We were just about free, but from over the scree came the groom to the monster bride<\/em>
\nWith a roar like a bear that’d curl your hair–and us with no place to hide!<\/em><\/p>\n

Rainald was quick to wield his pick like to pry the mother apart<\/em>
\nAnd Dang’rous Dane he found a vein as he shot toward its heart.<\/em><\/p>\n

When Gabe in white slipped out o’ sight to face the mate alone<\/em>
\n‘Twas all I could do to count some coup by throwin’ a handy stone.<\/em><\/p>\n

That got it mad, but Gabe was bad, more so than the hell-sent fiend,<\/em>
\nAnd a cut to its chest left the thing hard-pressed, and t’ward the ground it leaned.<\/em><\/p>\n

The she-worm curs’d had a pow’rful thirst for a shot o’ Northern juice<\/em>
\nShe swallowed him up and would-a supped ’til Rainald, he cut loose.<\/em><\/p>\n

The hammer red upside her head made her release that bite,<\/em>
\nBeside ol’ Dane the Dragon’s Bane, Rainald wrapped up the fight.<\/em><\/p>\n

They tore on through, and we all knew they’d saved the day once more.<\/em>
\nWith Gabe on our side, the creatures died; we gave ’em all what-for.<\/em><\/p>\n

I learned today to run and pray when a beastie gives you shakes,<\/em>
\nBut the might of men in a monster’s den still gets you dragon steaks!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
