Battle Hymn of the Chipmunk Kingdom
Many nations including the United States have Battle Hymns that serve as effective inspiration to spur a nation's people to victory in times of trouble and war. On that note I figured the Chipmunk Kingdom needed a Battle Hymn of its own, a resoundingly clear declaration that with the Life Giving Light of Tawa on their side, chipmunks will prevail over the darkness and those who seek harm to the world.
Battle Hymn of the Chipmunk Kingdom
Written By Tamias6
Our bows and arrows are the Sun
Our Tawa shineth unfailing
Our Strength amid the darkness
Of pedators prevailing
For still Eternal Night
Doth Seeks life’s undoing
It’s rage boils and seethes
And consumed in cruel hate
Unmatched and unequaled
Did we without the light confide,
Our struggles would be in vein
Were not for our Great Cheiftain
The Chipmunk of Tawa’s Choosing
Hakooji, it is he;
Our Hero brave and bold
Inspired us from age to age
To cast our votes for day
We must win the battle!
And though the darkness still contrives
Threatening life with hateful wrath
We fear it not for Tawa hath willed
His light to triumph through us
The servants of darkness grim
We tremble not for them
Their claws we can endure
For hark, their doom is sure
Felled by the great light
That great light shining above all
Feeding life to all that draws breath.
Its Spirit and Powers given to us
Through Tawa who with us sideth
Let Larders and Kindred go
Mortal Claims also
The Body they may kill
Tawa’s light Triumphs still
His good light is Eternal.

Sounds like the hymn of true warriors. My tribe (the fictional one I made up with animals, not my real life one) does not have a battle hymn like that, maybe it should, but our warriors are always strong as is; either way, it sounds very inspirational. Very poetic Tamias, as always
Btw, I'm still up for the offer to set these hymns to music as a thank you gift for my previous comission you did. If you just hum them to me like you imagine or I could totally set the music without one.
Whatever the case, great work!!

I would love to see what you can do to the lyrics I've posted here. This one and the Chipmunk Kingdom Anthem I posted quite a while back. Since these hymn are played on Megaliths (Giant towers housing enormous pipe organs they have a powerful and reverent sound) this would be right up your ally since you are an organist) This particular hymn is bold statement. Think of "A Mighty Fortress" or "the Old Hundredth" on this one.
