Mongol Warriors: Life As We Know It
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 withIt is as simple or complicated as thatSome of the gruesome scenes are far from
mythReady 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.
CHORUSWe are feared near and abroad
and rightly soWe are elite fighters known as
the Mongol warriorsOur leader Chinggis Khan, to
whom we all oweTrained us in the art of war to
become fierce battlers.
Born natural warriors we are trained from our youthWe learn to ride, hunt, fight, and ultimately killAll energy focused toward conquest and the forcible exaction of
tributeThere 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.
CHORUSWe are feared near and abroad
and rightly soWe are elite fighters known as
the Mongol warriorsOur leader Chinggis Khan, to
whom we all oweTrained us in the art of war to
become fierce battlers.
The armour in which we fight is worth discussingIt is a mix of materials primarily based on hard
leatherSteel plates are added to make it extra tough for
breakingIt’s a mix of heavy armour along with some light as a
feather.
There is no doubt or squabble because we are the bestBy the second decade of the 13th century we were an
inevitable forceTrained, disciplined, and mobile far better than the restWe 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.
CHORUSWe are feared near and abroad
and rightly soWe are elite fighters known as
the Mongol warriorsOur leader Chinggis Khan, to
whom we all oweTrained us in the art of war to
become fierce battlers.
Now that you know a little about us you seeWe live a hard life but we would have it no
other wayThe thrill and adrenaline keeps us moving,
ah sweet victory!Conquering the world is our vision and we
are not far away.
