The Sunhawks

Idra was a princess -- your elder sister, she
With golden jewels aplenty, she had sugar cakes for tea
She left them for a solder's life, preferring to live free
She learned how best to win a war and formed a company

She called us all her Sunhawks and taught us how to fly
At soldering we were the best that silver and gold could buy
We drink to Captain Idra, the leader of our band
We're proud to be her Sunhawks, every woman and every man

We fought for Captain Idra; 'twas for her each castle fell
We followed her to battle and we followed her to hell
Until the day she had to choose between you for the throne
She sent us back to Hawk's nest and flew onward all alone

We waited through the winter but heard from her no more
We sent two of our best to find the captain we adored
They found your brother banished, they found you on the throne
And what you did to Idra they found out on their own

So sit upon your golden throne, contented in your dreams
You'll awake into the nightmare when you hear the Sunhawks scream
Run while you will Oath-breaker; you'll wish you never were born
By priestess, mage, and common man, you're thrice declared fore-sworn

[music interlude]

Dressed as merchant, priest, or beggar, we're coming now you
And the one who guards you're life is yet another Sunhawk, too
We seek revenge for Captain Idra, the Sunhawks seek their prey
And justice is our by-word and our swords spell judgment day

Yes, justice is our by-word and our swords spell judgment day!

  • omg this isnt metal wtf

  • @KCstreets Why would it be metal? It's Filk and it should be tagged as such.

  • so...what happened to Idra? :(

  • @Fiondra Don't know i haven't read this far into the series i've only read Magic's Promise

  • Um... minor correction for your lyrics... Its Oath breaker, not Earth-breaker. Remember its the Oath breaker clause of the Mercenary Codes they invoke against the King for what happened.

  • @Tzia84 Oops i thought i had corrected while editing out mistakes (and there were a lot), i spotted that error when i did the first read through on the site i got the lyrics from but i guess that was one i missed correcting. Thanks for catching that i have dyslexia so spotting errors is always a challenge especially with the black text on white background most sites use. Even when going over them a dozen times i still miss some.

  • Idra Killed herself after being tortured and Gang raped, pretty messed up I say , especially she was also raped by her brother the king..

  • @Fiondra Idra's brother that became king had banished the other brother and had captured Idra. anyone squeamish or sensitive should stop reading now, i will be blunt. the king had Idra tortured and gang raped. i cant remember if she was killed or managed to kill herself, but it doesn't matter when a whole mercenary company is tearing the palace apart

  • I have read every single Valdemar books and the Oath (and Vanyel's) are my favorite. There is always going to be people who do not like her books, and there will always be people who love her world enough to wish to be apart of it. Each their own. I find the songs while reading (or re-reading) enhances the pleasure

  • @lyman6 vibrant? believable? deep? complex?

    Are we reading the same books? Her world is simplistic wish fulfillment at its worst.

  • @CelticGarou That sucks. : /

    Well, thanks for letting me know!

  • @Fiondra -Spoiler- My Dagorhir captain said she was tortured, raped and gutted by her brother. (our group is called the Sunhawks so makes sense he would have read the book...)

  • her brother did many evil things to her

  • Idra was murdered by her brother King Raschar oRethwellan.
