A Rosic ballad

A song that's occasionally sung by Rosic Nekos, who were taught this song, supposedly, by some friendly nagas at one point. For posterity, they kept the original lyrics.


Long ago I went to war
To fight the scourge of Felarya
I held aloft my mighty tail
And said "Let them come!"

I said their eyes are red as flame
I heard it told, from pits they came
Their breath is vile, their claws poisoned
Thus are the kensha of the deepest jungle

I heard my fathers words deep in my heart
Daughter, know your enemy as I know my child

The fates were kind, they let me in
The kensha's home, the place of terror
I placed my fist upon it's heart
And with hope I pushed through the marrow

The kensha fell upon the ground
'Twas then I heard a whimpering sound
A kensha to his mother clung
She only fought to protect her young

I heard my fathers words deep in my heart
Daughter, know your enemy as i know my child

And now my son is off to war
To fight the new scourge of Felarya
He holds aloft his deadly sceptre
And says "Mother, let them come!"

He swears their eyes are red as flame
And heard it told from deepest pits they came
Their breath is vile their claws wicked
Thus are the dridder of Sinera

Son, hear your Mother clear deep in your heart
Son, know your enemy as I would have them know my son

There are not many naga who remember this song however, most having being killed/eaten over the many years. But the Rosic Neko still remember this song, and thanks to a neko named Tirsa, now a few naga have begun to sing it again! (Tirsa, however, met a rather messy end thanks to a vine and a cliff).
