Elw Folk Songs

Songs about the Elfinshi War

That Bastard Ardashir

We heard the horns before they came How I wish I was in Elwynn now The newborn babes began to cry As the Duke cried out to “Fight or die!” Gods damn them all

The Babkhans burned the town to the ground How I wish I was in Elwynn now The Khan declared an all out war And sixteen men kicked down my door Gods damn them all

So we mourn for Elwynn lost to us For a thousand years Ilallí! Anlithurumi-l Ell aeir Gods damn that bastard Ardashir

They raped the girls and killed the men How I wish I was in Elwynn now When Daniel Dravot shot my son I knew the fight would never be won Gods damn them all
