The Guild Fanucci

 
 Haus

We will march…out…with Kriegsturm onto a battlefield
Sea of black and white upon tabards and our shields
There is no better battle my sword will ever see
A dozen worthy brothers and sisters here with me.
You  see a wall of sable line up in the dawn
If you are a foeman you best be moving on
Be a friend […]

Eden
Be wary, young soldier, what garden you seek.
Price of admission is well out of reach.
Eden is fair, oh! Fair as can be…
But she isn’t for you and she isn’t for me
.
So pick up your satchel and be on your way
Nothing to see here, why linger today?
Nothing to see here but heaven’s reprise
A circle complete and […]

Years

When I first esquired to a noble knight
My heart was brimming, sword and future bright
We followed king and kin–to distant places see
And it’s been ten years since he promised victory.
Ten years of crusading to the same bitter walls
Ten years of us hating the way our fellows fall
Ten years of praying that someday […]

Pick ‘em Up

Somewhere a call is sounding over frozen fields.
A thousand hooves are pounding and whetstone on the steel.
For master or your Baron, for your knight, for the Crown.
We are marching for the Dragon Pick ‘em up and put ‘em down.
Pick ‘em up!….{pick ‘em up} Put ‘em down!…{put ‘em down}
We hear the […]

Well, Sir Charles of Dublin was right. I finally wrote one.
On the Wall

What dream you on, young Guenivere, looking down on waters clear.
Remembering when you became a queen.
Beware of faerie hunting horns, all the roses bearing thorns.
Oh, if you knew of all that might have been.
Each and every morning. I can see […]

Heroes

We travel out of Middle lands,
Armored up, sword in hand.
Voices strong, heads up high,
Queen Noelle passing by.
Lift your voices! Come and sing
Of Alaric, Dragon King.
He will lead the way to war,
Victory, song and more.
Tale of Pennsic…Time for a war of heroes
Heed the word of Baron Straum.
General will lead us on
To a Pennsic […]

Francis and me
(c) 2005 George Reed

Come you! Adventure with Francis and me
Sail on the morrow upon the high sea
Come you! Oh come adventure to find
Swift as the wind, proud Golden Hind
In Seventy Eight he gave me a name
That later earned stories and far running fame
I took him with care to ends of the world
Elizabeth’s banners […]

Color of a Rose

Color of a rose is forever.
Once she lifts smile to the sun.
Her petals may fade, however
Nothing is forgotten, Rose has done.
People she inspired, every song, every fire
Every child she may give a dream
All the hours, every smile, distant call across the miles
All live on eternally
By list field she grew […]

Tell story of Noelle’s gentle hand.

Cheer! Middle Realm fighting for the King.
Spear and shield, take the bloody field
To Alaric Tyger banner […]

The Chalice

In goblet of gold are wrought dreams of old–
Wishes for a spark of better days.
Safely there to keep inspiration deep,
All we do to flourish and amaze.
Our people are a vessel of a season gone before
Our people dream of peace, art, and light and war.
Our people come together to sing beneath a […]
