Exiles of the ash

Guards of the north
Sing their songs of the snow
Bring us the breath
Of the marshes and rain
Courage is rising again!
War will weather the souls of the lost
Stand together whatever the cost
Shields will falter and many will fall
Time has come for us all
To answer the call
Pride of Summer’s shores
Guide the voices of kings
Children of bark
They will tighten their strings
Bring us the wits
Of the warm southern sands
Clouds over all of the lands
War will weather the souls of the lost

White gold

Re: Futurecraft song
I don't like that song. The verses are inconsistent, it doesn't have any predictable rhyme scheme, the lines don't have the same number of syllables... I have no idea how you're supposed to sing something like that.

Re: Futurecraft song
OK. So the line breaks aren't where Lightspeed put them. That makes vastly more sense. 'Echoes from the west, great hammers will fall / Under high rocks all will answer the call' is not at all the same as 'Echoes from the west / Great hammers will fall / Under high rocks all will / Answer the call'. Some parts of it still don't flow very well, though. The chorus doesn't sound right.

Re: Futurecraft song
Okay, now replace all proper names with FC-related stuff and make the music something less-medieval.
Then that will be a very good FC-song.

Re: Futurecraft song
Why would anyone even want to have anything to do with this one? (On a side note, why do we need a theme song at this stage again?)

Don't tell anybody, but to this day I have a faint hope for Futurecraft, or something similar to it, to happen. Within my lifetime.
Re: Futurecraft song
Like everything else we do on the forums, it would be a community song. For the community.

Re: Futurecraft song
That sounds pretty good. Now we need a person to sing this.
...
well...
...
You might find someone. Alternatively you may also already know someone.
I'm going to stay aside on that matter.
