This is the Keep that Simonn built
This is the Tower, strong and serene, that guards the border from the base and mean,
And stands in the Keep that Simonn built
This is Tessa, of the smiling face,
Who planted the Gardens of Beauty and Grace, that surround the Tower, strong and serene
That guards the Border from the base and mean
And stands in the Keep that Simonn built
Here is Henri, the Owl never frowns,
He took the reins when Simonn stepped down
And was kissed by Tessa of the smiling face,
Who planted the Gardens of Beauty and Grace, that surround the Tower, strong and serene
That guards the Border from the base and mean
And stands in the Keep that Simonn built
Here is Charla of Lotus pure white
Who works hard all day, and parties all night
She ruled with Henri, the Owl never frowns
Who took the reins when Simonn stepped down
And was kissed by Tessa of the smiling face
Who planted the Gardens of Beauty and Grace, that surround the Tower, strong and serene
That guards the Border from the base and mean
And stands in the Keep that Simonn built
Then Dafydd and Dena, the Dark and the Fair
Artisans both, with talent so rare
Who were blessed by Charla of Lotus pure white
Who works hard all day, and parties all night
She ruled with Henri, the Owl never frowns
Who took the reins when Simonn stepped down
And was kissed by Tessa of the smiling face
Who planted the Gardens of Beauty and Grace, that surround the Tower, strong and serene
That guards the Border from the base and mean
And stands in the Keep that Simonn built
Now Ericus and AmberLea, with sword and with song
Who've held the dream in their hearts for so long
Succeed Dafydd and Dena, the Dark and the Fair
Artisans both, with talent so rare
Who were blessed by Charla of Lotus pure white
Who works hard all day, and parties all night
She ruled with Henri, the Owl never frowns
Who took the reins when Simonn stepped down
And was kissed by Tessa of the smiling face
Who planted the Gardens of Beauty and Grace, that surround the Tower, strong and serene
That guards the Border from the base and mean
And stands in the Keep that Simonn built
Mountaingate, Ivory, Crystal Skull too,
Bladesong, Blackheart, Chateau l'Hibou.
The newbies, the dinos, the strong and the weak.
The children, the grannies, the proud and the meek.
The good friends who come and those who depart
And those who will always live in our hearts.
These are the people, the tall and the small
The strength of our Barony one and all
Led by Ericus and AmberLea, with sword and with song
Who've held the dream in their hearts for so long
After Dafydd and Dena, the Dark and the Fair
Artisans both, with talent so rare
Who were blessed by Charla, of lotus pure white,
Who works hard all day, and parties all night.
Who ruled with Henri, the owl never frowns,
He took the reins when Simonn stepped down
Who was kissed by Tessa, of the smiling face,
Who planted the Gardens of Beauty and Grace,
That surrounds the tower, strong and serene, that guards the border from the base and mean.
And stands........ In the Keep that Simonn Built.
