about

A song of encouragement from the living history club known as the Society for Creative Anachronism (sca.org)

lyrics

Chorus:
Rise if you're able
Rise if you're able
Rise if you're able
Make ready; lay on!

1
The war drums are pounding, the bright banners fly.
when up from the ground there arises a cry.
We hold in position and kneel as to pray.
They load up the injured and wheel them away.

2
Too busy to practice, too weary for art,
Too saddened by factions that tear us apart.
Reject disillusionment! Grab onto me!
You need an infusion of pure chivalry.

3
Our founders, our mentors, the best of our best
Are aging and spent now, or laid to their rest.
But we their torchbearers will shout to the dawn,
As long as we cherish the dream, it lives on.
