WAV: First Battle
Stand Up! Stand up and take your sword!
Stand up and take your blade!
Though the battle is far from won,
Let valor be displayed!
For glory! For honor! Northshield!
March On! March on to fighting field!
March on and take your place!
The armies with rhythm march,
As we our foemen face.
First battle! First sword clash! […]

Against the Odds
© 2005 Kathryn Kibellus

Against the odds. Belt unlike snow.
Red like the blood he shed for this
Prove his worth upon the list.
Against the odds.
Trembling take the field his clumsy weapon wield.
Whispering encouragements to echo ’round his helm.
He must believe his might for he hopes to win this fight
And make his courage known throughout the […]

Whippoorwill

Whippoorwill calls! Herald of evening.
Songs in the night, mem’ry of day.
Whippoorwill calls! But only in darkness.
All of his world, showered in shade.
(Chorus)
Let the tune flow. No matter what’s around!
Lift your voices, and let your hair hang down!
Let the tune flow.
For night’s not the ony time to sing.
There is more than just nighttime […]

Song on the Wind

Song on the wind! Hail to Northshield!
Arise from your seats!
And hear the song that’s all around!
Arise from your seats and hear!
The animals speak!
They sing the praises of our Northshield!
Rise from your seats and hear!
Song on the wind! Hail to Northshield!
At dawn you will hear
The crickets who stayed up all […]

Rising Moon

Our spirits are bound to the road, friends.
Our souls and our horses are one.
We’re not satisfied unless we’re traveling somewhere
The moment that night becomes dawn.
Rising moon in the heavens,
Rising moon guiding me,
Let me reach my destination.
Rising moon, hear my plea!
No matter the weather we’ll ride on.
No blizzard or rainstorm we heed.
We […]

Nordskogen Reborn
© 2005 Kathryn Kibellus
The North Star observed our group long ago.
It saw us born into this land of snow.
Where now we are thriving, we would have died young,
If Bridget and Caradoc these words had not sung:
Put no wrathful sword in my hand.
Put a song on my lips instead.
Let us be friends to all in […]

Golden Glory

Oh, soft that sunbeam,
Crimson aurora,
Reaching out with quivering hand,
Shines into valley
Golden light falling,
Story woven upon first light.
Came a child barefoot to silver pool
Reflecting the glory of sunrise,
And as golden red as that sky was,
Surely an angel had died.
So child wandered
Seeking an angel
Someone who had given up all.
Imagination
Simple child’s play
Dreaming thoughts of […]

Fear Not the Night
© 2005 Kathryn Kibellus
Sunlight no longer lingers over our lovely land.
And we’re all so exhausted that we cannot stand.
Now the rain clouds roll in like a dark ocean tide.
Do not fear; I am here by your side.
Fear not the things of the night.
For the stars are the campfires of ancestors.
Heed not the […]
