Here's to the Escarbuncle
Music and Lyrics by THL Cadell Blaidd du
First on the line is the noble knight
With sword of steel and belt of white
Laying down his life for right
And all for the glory of Ęthelmearc
Chorus
Drink, lads, fill your cups!
Here's to the lands of Ęthelmearc
Drink, lads, fill your cups!
Here's to the escarbuncle!
Skilled ar the Laurels in their art
Teaching those who wish to start
All they do comes from their heart
And all for the glory of Ęthelmearc
Chorus
The Pelican's a noble breed,
Helping all of those in need.
Donig service is their creed,
And all for the glory of Ęthelmearc
Chorus
Lords and ladies, nobles all,
Lift your glasses, heed my call!
Let your voices fill the hall!
All for the glory of Ęthelmearc!
Chorus (2x, both at full speed)
Optional: sing final chorus a minor third higher
