Geoffri of Wareine donned leadership's mantle
Smoothed over squabbles, hard feelings and strife
His gentle hand showed us the path to the future
By dint of his dreaming, brought the Heartland to life.

Long is the road which together we've traveled,
Building a family which Falcons revere.
We see them but rarely yet still do they guide us.
Let us praise all those who wrought Calontir.

A bear from black mountain, well skilled in his swordwork,
Stood as first Warlord by strength of his arms.
Not only his own will, but that of the people
Was heard at the Althing and kept us from harm.

Long is the road which together we've traveled,
Building a family which Falcons revere.
We see them but rarely yet still do they guide us.
Let us praise all those who wrought Calontir.

The voice of the Herald spoke Crown's Will to subjects,
Yet Arwyn spake also what we might become.
The Heartland's rich honors were brought into
But to keyholder she would not succumb.

Long is the road which together we've traveled,
Building a family which Falcons revere.
We see them but rarely yet still do they guide us.
Let us praise all those who wrought Calontir.

First skald of the Falcon was known as Brom Blackhand,
Crafter in iron,sharp edges he'd hone.
His mind and voice guided us ever on forward.
Together we still sing how we stand alone.

Long is the road which together we've traveled,
Building a family which Falcons revere.
We see them but rarely yet still do they guide us.
Let us praise all those who wrought Calontir.
