         C                 G                                  G
You may talk and sing and boast about your Pennsic Wars and Floods,
                                   C          G           C
And how the fields of Atenveldt at wars are filled with blood,
                        G           C               G
But I'll sing to you a story of a destiny filled date,
                                            C         G    C
How we took the field against the winds at last Estrella VIII.

Chorus:

     C                                      G
The winds and gales they blew and kept on coming,
     C                                    G
The tents they flew and people started running,
     F                 C                G                 C
And when we got back to our camp, we found it was too late,
                                       G              C
For the winds had taken everything at last Estrella VIII.

We came with tents and armored knights, we came with all we could;
We came with spirit and with sword, we came with flesh and blood,
We came with everything we might, the kitchen sink we brought,
But the winds were just a little bit stronger than we thought.

Chorus

Now the last thing that I noticed, that gave to me great hope,
And inspired all the people round, who'd reached the end of rope,
Was a view of such tremendous strength, so glorious and bright,
Aye the stronghold was a flyin' on a ninety-nine foot kite!
