After all, I'm Duke, you see

After all, I'm Duke, you see is the Duchal hymn of the Dutch of Kildare. It is based on the Blackrock tune from the Contol of Destiny game. The melody of the song is from The Minstrel Boy.

The lyrics of the hymn is written by Bayen, in order of Dutch Jonas I.

Lyrics

Perhaps one day when this war is gone,

From the Duchy of Kildare

The Duke will greet the day's new dawn

And the Baron won't be sorry.

"Land of Tzi!" cried the linguist bard,

And speaking high and muffled,

He spoke Kildar'an; it was hard

So he was very troubled.

The pact fell through! Cuz the peace-makings

Could not bring the Duke to give in

His word, he knew, was like to a King's:

To it one must always listen,

He said "No spell or magic tree,

Shall let you take what's mine from me,

Kildare's here for the pure and the free,

And after all, I'm Duke, you see."
