Tor Aerie Longboat Raiding Song
by Lord Edwin atte Bridge and the Tor Aerie War Chorus
(to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic")
Come all you fearsome Vikings load the longboats, climb aboard
We'll raise the sail and man the oars to raid beyond the fjord
There's lots of helpless folks to find and lands to be explored
Tor Aerie blazes on!
Hack, and slash and burn and plunder
Sink their boats and drive them under
Loot and smash their walls asunder
Tor Aerie blazes on!
You know you're doomed when lookouts spot our mighty drakkar fleet
Our spears are sharp, our axes gleam, our crew is quite elite
You make your choice when we draw near to run or face defeat
Tor Aerie conquers on!
Hack, and slash and burn and plunder
Sink their boats and drive them under
Loot and smash their walls asunder
Tor Aerie conquers on!
We venture forth in armor from our tower in the nord
With alka-selzer bear-sarks and a seething Aesir horde
You'll see the cowards scurry off each time we raise the sword
Tor Aerie marches on!
Hack, and slash and burn and plunder
Sink their boats and drive them under
Loot and smash their walls asunder
Tor Aerie marches on!
(squirrel-friendly verse)
This gallant group from Nordleigh to the crew has been impressed
They may not be as warlike but they are much better dressed
Together our two cantons will take on all the rest
Our longboat surges on!
Hack, and slash and burn and plunder
Sink their boats and drive them under
Loot and smash their walls asunder
Our longboat surges on!
Whoever stands against us has no chance of growing old
Our boffer blades have taken down the vet'ran and the bold
So give us quickly, victims, your choc'late and your gold
Tor Aerie vikings on!
Hack, and slash and burn and plunder
Sink their boats and drive them under
Loot and smash their walls asunder
Tor Aerie vikings on!
We make this our first pastime til our schooling is complete
We take our toll in coins and beer from everyone we meet
Yes as a form of funding, this method can't be beat
Tor Aerie plunders on!
Hack, and slash and burn and plunder
Sink their boats and drive them under
Loot and smash their walls asunder
Tor Aerie plunders on!
