The Fall of Shallam

The Fall of Shallam was a popular protest song during the Seleucarian conquest of Shallam.

---

With a crack and a whack did the White Wave strike

Shattering the armies with a golden pike

Nicator's Staff did cry our defeat

And we fought and we died in the day's full heat

Our prayers rang false and their aim was true

And as our front ranks fell, they attacked anew

Seleucar's pride dashed hard in the van

And our Templars countered, and so the fight ran

We could not lose!

But we could not win

Then death we choose!

But falsehood's a sin And ere the sun set we were kissing their hands,

Begging for the right to surrender our lands.

Sing hi, ho for Seleucar's glory!

Seleucar's victory, Seleucar's story!

The blades of Seleucar still drip blood

But we'll gladly walk in Seleucar mud!
