TOPE’S FAREWELL From the day that she left, she took part of our hearts Lady Tope – We will never forget you. I have heard many stories of leaders of men. I have sung many songs of their deeds, Of the battles they’ve won And the lands they’ve laid waste, There are many such hist’ries to read. But of women there seem to be little and few. Of their lives we hear never a word. But today it would be a crime of the worst kind. to allow it to pass unobserved. From the day that she left, she took part of our hearts Lady Tope – We will never forget you. She has given us everything we can now say, That makes Lions the force that they are. Hold her image before you- Her legacy’s yours- Hail her name across all Lantia! Never think the Tope name can be dulled by the blade, That has caused many more to be lost. Through the wide mists of time, Hold her forth on your minds, We’ll remember, no matter the cost. From the day that she left, she took part of our hearts Lady Tope – We will never forget you. How can one I had known for oh so short a time, Have so deep an effect on my heart? And for every deed- That I know she has done- To repay her, I never could start. I can stand proud and say that I loved her, As I’ve never loved any before. We would give all we had, To deflect this sad fate, And the God’s give us some moment’s more. From the day that she left, she took part of our hearts Lady Tope – We will never forget you. So to all those who call themselves Lions, this day, Hail her proudly and hold her in mind. And I beg now of you, Keep her memory true, On the day that she left us behind. She has gone now and taken her husband and child, And a veil over her we must draw. But we’ll sing out her praise, To the end of our days, To our Queen, and the Mother of all. From the day that she left, she took part of our hearts Lady Tope – We will never forget you. From the day that she left, she took part of our hearts Lady Tope – WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU! |
