To the tune of Hana Ava Baba Not. Lyrics JR/music trad.
RECORDING of this song : Media:rubies-on-the-snow.mp3
Thick fell the snows on Navarr Far we had come, following the battle drum And their blood fell like rubies on the snow
Swift were the blades of the Vard Hard iron wrought; and like heroes bold we fought And the blood fell like rubies on the snow
Chorus: Snow falls thick in the hollow Covering the earth, and war's bloody stain Schlachta came here to conquer Now here we ever must remain
Our foes heard an Ushkan Mage call All was not lost if they'd pay his bloody cost Where the blood fell like rubies on the snow.
Deals struck in darkness and cold Gold he was paid, darkest promises were made And our blood fell like rubies on the snow
Chorus
Though we fought hard and fought long Strong was the spell and our foes they used it well And our blood fell like rubies in the snow
Their victory did not last Fast they were slain, only to rise up again Where our blood fell like rubies on the snow
Chorus
Bury my bones where I fell Tell to my vale all the sorrows of my tale How our blood fell like rubies on the snow
There lies a heart hard as a stone Bone guards it still in the Mourning Hollow's chill Where the blood fell like rubies on the snow
