Falcon's Heart and Falcon's Song

Song written for the Kingdom of Calontir, in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Open to fair use. (I would like to know if you're learning it!)

Falcon's Heart and Falcon's Song
Constantia Kaloethes (that's me!)
Tune: Byker Hill, trad. English

Here are fyrdmen of the heartland
Guards with horses, bows and spears
Falcon's song rising up in battle
All to glory Calontir

Chorus

Falcon's heart and falcon's song
Purple and gold my whole life long (x2)

Here are huscarls, tough and ready
Wielding axes, bows and steeds
Falcon's song rising up in battle
All to glory Calontir

Chorus

Torse and Crosses, hearken, listen
A carol of comfort, an air of cheer
Falcon's song rising up in service
All to glory Calontir

Chorus

Swans and Mallets, Hammers, Lilies
All make music with their craft
Falcon's song rising up in work-chant
All to glory Calontir

Chorus

Calon host, march on to war's fray
Word-fame ours again to gain
Falcon's song rising o'er the army
All to glory Calontir

Chorus

Heading home to the land of plenty
Heading home on falcon's wing
Heading home to friends held dear
Heading home to Calontir

Chorus x2
