Pullin' it in under the wire. Lyrics for fencers and dancers, now just have to work on tunes.
I am a much better lyricist than tunesmith, I'm finding.
Terpsichore
We come from a land of great waters
where streams and rivers flow
Motion and music all as one
We watch the waters and know:
Chorus:
Let go and the music will guide you
Gliding o’er the floor
We dance in careful measured steps
Following Terpsichore
There's grace in every movement
Delight in every step
Hear the muse’s sounding lyre
in a heart where dreams are kept
Patterns that are old as time
Echo the beat of the heart
Dance with those who came before
Dance with the muse of an ancient art
Fangs of the Serpent
The serpent coiled on the field
May seem a creature slight
Until you see it move to kill -
The fangs of the serpent will strike!
Chorus
We are the fangs of the serpent
Sunk deep in your heart or your heel
Storvik’s fencers, wielding all
Fangs of flashing bright steel
With speed, precision, cutting wit
We launch our blades to bite
Attack, defend, or do what you will --
But the fangs of the serpent will strike!
We take to the field without fear
And know if we die tonight -
We won’t die alone - our venom is strong
The fangs of the serpent will strike!
