The Sons of the Dragon
Written for the Ealdormere's friends of the past in hope for the future

In the days of legend and old,
Three Sons did the Dragon first claim.
The Falcon of Calontir bold.
The Wolf that gives Ealdormere fame.
The Gryphon of Northshield the strong.
Each proved well the strength of the Wyrm.
In battle, in deed or in song,
Each grew to full strength in its turn.
For we are the Sons of the Dragon
What foe could stand fast 'gainst all three
That Falcon flies high. The Wolf prowls below
And the Gryphon between them roams free.

Of Calontir, legends unveil
The fall of the bird from it's nest.
The catch of the wind, like a sail,
In the beat of its' wing and its' breast
To the glove it ne'er will return
Though the hills still echo it's cry
For once given the freedom to sing
The Falcon must roam free or die!

For we are the sons of the dragon
Together we ever shall roam
The falcons that soar. The wolves at the door
And the gryphons that guard fast the home

Of Ealdormere history will tell
How the wolf in its lair was chained
And the land into dread silence fell
Until finally it's freedom was gained
To the cage it ne'er would return
Though the hills still echo it's cry
For once given the freedom to sing
The White Wolf must roam free or die!

For we are the sons of the Dragon
The falcon flies free in the air
The wolf wild runs in the woodland
And the Gryphon grows fast in his lair

Of Northshield the Skalds will decry
The might of the Gryphon at war
As the youngest of brothers it came
But its strength has now come to the fore
To its brothers it soon will return
And the hills will echo its cry
For once given the freedom to sing
The Gryphon will roam free or die!

We are the Sons of the Dragon
What foe could stand fast 'gainst all three
That Falcon flies high. The Wolf prowls below
And the Gryphon between them roams free.
