Three Great Ships

Across the sea they heard the call

Blood to spill and gold in hand

Charged to flash their deadly steel

And defend this fruitful land

Straightaway they waged their war

And swiftly came the victory

And all of those that were left behind

Beheld the messengers' sign

And the ships filled the shoreline

Bound for fame

With three great ships they came

Riding the waves

To the fray

They soared across the spray

Leading the way

Souls aflame

They made their masters slaves

Destined to reign

Foes forlorn

A sacred myth was born

Wrought a new age

With gathering strength and growing will

They turned to bite the hand that feeds

The worthless host harried and slain

From the east to western seas

Altars razed by iron and fire

The pious slaughtered ruthlessly

The survivors fled to cower in the woods

For a life of ignominy

Or sadly crossed the sea
