*begins, the neck hand hammering out simple chords, his free hand fingerpicking notes on the free strings*<br><br />
<br><br />
Gather close, friends and rivals! Let me sing you the tale of a night when music made war — and war made music. The Battle of the Bards!<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
In the courts of Kings, and taverns low,<br><br />
Where stories rise 'nd ale doth flow,<br><br />
Our strings are tuned, the stage is set,<br><br />
And pride becomes a bards’ bold bet.<br><br />
<br><br />
A golden harp, a silver flute,<br><br />
Or a voice to make the night go mute,<br><br />
Each steps forth, both fierce and grand,<br><br />
Fire in heart, lute in hand.<br><br />
<br><br />
[Chorus]<br><br />
Clash of chords, a tempest roars,<br><br />
Magic dancing from our oaken floors,<br><br />
Verse and spell doth collide—<br><br />
In a battle where no blade may guide!<br><br />
Spin the tale, or strum a tune,<br><br />
Beneath the stars, beneath the moon,<br><br />
Glory sings in rhymes and shards,<br><br />
Tonight it is, the Battle of the Bards!<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
One sang of dragons, fierce and bold,<br><br />
Whose breath turned knights from brave to cold,,<br><br />
Another told of lovers lost,<br><br />
Whose tears had turned the seas to frost.<br><br />
<br><br />
With wily spell and witty jest,<br><br />
Each seeks to outshine all the rest,<br><br />
Their songs are swords, their rhymes, shields,<br><br />
Their stories shape the battlefield.<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Oh the crowd does cheer, the crowd does weep,<br><br />
For tales were sown both dark and deep,<br><br />
A sonnet spun, a limerick loosed,<br><br />
A thunderous wave of lyric use!<br><br />
<br><br />
[Chorus]<br />
Clash of chords, tempest roars,<br><br />
Magic dancing from oaken floors,<br><br />
Verse and spell doth collide—<br><br />
In a battle where no blade may guide!<br><br />
Spin the tale, or strum a tune,<br><br />
Beneath the stars, beneath the moon,<br><br />
Glory sings in rhymes and shards,<br><br />
Tonight it is, the Battle of the Bards!<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
*slow quiet finger picking - gentle lyrical voice*<br><br />
<br><br />
And when the last refrain was done...<br><br />
No soul would say who truly won...<br><br />
For every tale had left its mark...<br><br />
A spark in hearts, a flame in dark...<br><br />
<br><br />
So raise your voice and strike your string...<br><br />
Let every tavern, hall, or king...<br><br />
Remember well these fateful cards...<br><br />
The night the world beheld the Bards...<br><br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
* Returns to original beat and tempo*<br><br />
<br><br />
Clash of chords, let tales take flight,<br><br />
Bards will duel ‘til morning light,<br><br />
Where music meets the arcane arts,<br><br />
The brave shall battle with all their heart!<br><br />
Spin a tale, strum the tune,<br><br />
Beneath the stars, beneath the moon,<br><br />
For legend lives in roaring yards—<br><br />
Forevermore… the Battle of the Bards!<br></div>Vichan
