Ballad Lyrics by Bianca Burnette
Many a tale have been
told about us
Some are false while
others good and true
One thing remains, we
are machines and plus
We are trained in the art
of war, that’s all we
do.
We are a force to be reckoned with
It is as simple or complicated as that
Some of the gruesome scenes are far from myth
Ready to strike at any moment or face combat.
On horseback we
ride day and
night
We are skilled
archers, good
with bow and
arrow
Even the best
opponent is an
easy fight
Our tactics come
from our
ancestors who
lived long ago.
CHORUS
We are feared near and abroad
and rightly so
We are elite fighters known as the
Mongol warriors
Our leader Chinggis Khan, to
whom we all owe
Trained us in the art of war to
become fierce battlers.
Born natural warriors we are trained from our youth
We learn to ride, hunt, fight, and ultimately kill
All energy focused toward conquest and the forcible exaction of
tribute
There is no time to quarrel instead we seek to kill, oh the thrill!
We are extremely mobile
and physically tough
Wielding a variety of
weapons; lances,
hatchets, iron maces
Gaining more territory of
which there is never
enough
We move wherever Khan
leads us which are all
kinds of places.
The very lifestyle of
our people breeds
mobility
Chinggis Khan and
other commanders
bring discipline and
organization
With a fighting
people, it is nice to
have some stability
Our forces are
divided into units
called tumens.
CHORUS
We are feared near and abroad
and rightly so
We are elite fighters known as the
Mongol warriors
Our leader Chinggis Khan, to
whom we all owe
Trained us in the art of war to
become fierce battlers.
The armour in which we fight is worth discussing
It is a mix of materials primarily based on hard leather
Steel plates are added to make it extra tough for
breaking
It’s a mix of heavy armour along with some light as a
feather.
There is no doubt or squabble because we are the best
By the second decade of the 13th century we were an
inevitable force
Trained, disciplined, and mobile far better than the rest
We conquer the east and west on the back of our horse.
While we are known as
warriors of military
excellence
We are gentleman on
the personal level
We are men of good
character, respect,
and obedience
We avoid all morbidity
by staying joyous
and cheerful.
CHORUS
We are feared near and abroad
and rightly so
We are elite fighters known as the
Mongol warriors
Our leader Chinggis Khan, to
whom we all owe
Trained us in the art of war to
become fierce battlers.
Now that you know a little about us you see
We live a hard life but we would have it no
other way
The thrill and adrenaline keeps us moving, ah
sweet victory!
Conquering the world is our vision and we are
not far away.
