They seek our vast riches, which hard work and toil Hath brought us to keep; to the victors the spoils! A pig disemboweled; a dismembered ear A quite gruesome keepsake - a war souvenir for the owner shall see it no more, it lies dead The blunt of a hammer churned pulp from its head We wage with a chant; a collection of pride Of a spirited race that's too stubborn to die A brother falls near me in life's final stage Thay've only succeeded in fuelling the rage I see my poor clansman; he gasps his last breath They've slaughtered the drumsman; the penalty - DEATH! The Great Orb of Flame sets aglow the east sky And sheds light on the scene of the siege from last night The orcs stand no more, those not dead have retreated To group up once more, else their loss be repeated The clan stands triumphant; the victors - Vallore! With casualties totalling loss of three score Their names shall be etched on the walls of our mind And those of the families those souls left behind.</blockquote>
