We are the ones who swore fealty to Chepe
We are the ones who first built shield walls
We are the ones who taught you our values
Ours are the deeds which the lineage recalls.
Long years ago in the Shire of Mag Mor,
Gathered we many to meet our first Crown
Amidst the great blizzard we birthed a new kingdom.
To those we have raised we will hand this realm down.
We are the ones who swore fealty to Chepe
We are the ones who first built shield walls
We are the ones who taught you our values
Ours are the deeds which the lineage recalls.
The songs of this kingdom, we've sung out In chorus
We wrote them to honor those things we love dear
You heard them from earliest days in the cradle
Now it is you turn to sing Calontir.
We are the ones who swore fealty to Chepe
We are the ones who first built shield walls
We are the ones who taught you our values
Ours are the deeds which the lineage recalls.
Much have we crafted in the ways of the ancients
Cunningly wrought with beauty and skill
These treasures we've built to enrich this fair kingdom
To you we entrust them to do what you will.
We are the ones who swore fealty to Chepe
We are the ones who first built shield walls
We are the ones who taught you our values
Ours are the deeds which the lineage recalls.
Elderfollk often resent acts of the young ones
Frequently saying, "Kids, get off my lawn."
But you have learned all the values we cherish
So with grateful heart, this lawn we pass on.
You will swear fealty to the heirs of Chepe
You'll be the brick of future shield walls
You are the ones who will live out our values
Yours are the deeds which the lineage recalls.
