Listen to Trooping The Colour by Richard Charles Stevens (Hymn of Valor Suite)
Listen to Hymn of Valor by Instrumental Core
Trooping the colour
Of regiment famed
300 braves
Not a one shallow grave
True real sincere
To the sediment grain
Crystalline clear
In each resonant wave
Carpe Diem
With intent
To seize the day
Trooping the colour
Of regiment famed
.
Neath the mighty eye of raven
Neath the mighty eye of raven
(Of regiment famed)
Neath the mighty eye of raven
.
Rallying points
In a shield like formation
Vanishing points
For ten thousand strong army they’re facing
Laboursaving dedication
To a cause endorsed great veneration
.
This is
SPARTA!
One nation
Neath eye of the Raven
Dining in hell
To tell heaven’s narration
Glory in sacrifice
Grace in last breath
For destiny grants them
A Beautiful Death
Even whence tunics be brutally cleft
Dutiful owed to unmovable mesh
.
While great many braves return home on their shields
Burning their bones only hastens the yield
Builds a new army
Full blooded and hearted
Advancing to arm gravitation field
Fighting in shade
Whence the red sun is blotted
Rightfully claimed every steel arrow dropping
.
One shield
300 braves
A sea of scars
No brave forgotten
Hearts unchained
With wide eyes glazed
Neath the raven’s mighty gaze
Trooping the colour
Of regiment famed
300 remembered the day
.
Trooping the colour
Of regiment famed
300 braves
Not a one shallow grave
True real sincere
To the sediment grain
Crystalline clear
In each resonant wave
Carpe Diem
With intent
To seize the day
Trooping the colour
Of regiment famed
.
This is
SPARTA!
One colour
Of regiment famed (repeat)
.
This is
SPARTA!
One colour
Of regiment famed (repeat)
.
This is
SPARTA!
One colour
Of regiment famed (repeat)
.
Neath the mighty eye of raven
Neath the mighty eye of raven
Neath the mighty eye of raven
Neath the mighty eye of raven
.

I love this, “A sea of scars”, on a thought provoking personal level 👑
Been too long since I wrote a Spartan verse and I love the way parallels run between their existence and our own. Aside from being unforgiving with their young when training them to become warriors, I’m on-board with most of their values. And I love recreating the beauty of the battlefield through prose. Also, I’ve never used War Pigs as audio and it’s a great damn song.
“A sea of scars
No brave forgotten
Hearts unchained
With wide eyes glazed
Neath the raven’s mighty gaze”
This song is majestic. Awesome song choice and I look forward to hearing more from them beneath your ever-blossoming voice. Richardcore 💥
