Ye Olde Announcements

We are a band of brothers, native to the soil
Fighting for the property we gained by honest toil
And when our rights were threatened, the cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

As long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and like brethren, kind were we and just
But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
Next quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida
All raise on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Ye men of valour, gather 'round the banner of the right
Texas and fair Louisiana have joined us in the fight
Davis, our beloved President, and Stephens, statesman are
Now rally 'round the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Now here's to brave Virginia, the Old Dominion State
With the young Confederacy at length has linked her fate
Impelled by her example, now other states prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Cheer, boys, cheer, raise a joyous shout
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be given
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be eleven.

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears eleven stars.

Then here's to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave
Like patriots of old we'll fight, our heritage to save
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

Hurrah, hurrah, for Southern Rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!

hurrah for a f**king blue flag that has a star on it

Somewhere far, in a soulless void
There is a throne of stone
Beneath heaven's dome, in ruins there is
White, as a snow, chateau

And there, Pale King, is sitting alone
The crown is still on his head
With his empty stare, observes the world
In ashes, it lies, before him/ahead

Within the tall walls, of his domain
One may not hear any words
A gust of wind, one sad motif
Flows by the throne of the King

Dirge, for the Hallownest, weep, of the Hallownest
In heart, in the heart of his
Dirge, for the Hallownest, weep, of the Hallownest
In heart, in the heart of hers

Please tell me, don't hide, the story that gnaws
Oh my, poor, dreaming king.
I’m sorry I had, to leave you behind
I could have not stayed anymore

Phantoms of past twirl around the hall
Stirring it alive again
Everyone, whispers of her
Unsettling the eternal rest

Dirge, for the Hallownest, weep, of the Hallownest
In heart, in the heart of his
Dirge, for the Hallownest, weep, of the Hallownest
In heart, in the heart of hers

The winds are blowing through the halls
They bring the sadness from within
The depths insensible motif
Of reign of madness therein

I beg, My King, please answer me
At least for this one time
What have you doomed your children for, ripping soul apart?

Without saying single word
The king just stares through abyss
Among the ruins of this place
He cannot see what is amiss
In lifeless eyes, just ache and pain.
For wind to carry as it flows
Its motif, from lonely Lady of the White.
