The Lion Faction has a position within it called "The Wavesinger". This person, by trial, is given control of a Kraken, which will listen to that person and that person alone while they sing to it, they make a mental bond.
When the Ragh Hrafen Fianna took the contract with the Lion Faction Jøsef Lambsen put himself forward along with the Lions best Bards to attain this position...
And walked away triumphant!
This was the song, written in 5 mins before the contest, it had not been sung aloud until he stood before the judges...
lyrics
Sail Away,
From waves that can threaten
A darkening sky.
Sail Away,
From ebony waters
Where Demi-Gods lie.
We call for the old one who lies there asleep,
The undying power that rules all the deep.
We beg you to hear us, we ask you to heed,
To punish our enemies - break and to bleed.
Turn and fly, lest you fear not to die
Or the Kraken will soon drag you down.
Turn and fly, lest you fear not to die
Or the Kraken will soon drag you down.
Sail Away,
From that whom the knowing
Respectfully fear.
Sail Away,
Or stay and prepare to lose
All you hold dear.
The Kraken awakes and your vessel is gone.
No prayer will save you, no ancestral song.
Your lives are now forfeit upon the dark waves.
Beneath the wine oceans, your water graves.
Turn and fly, lest you fear not to die
Or the Kraken will soon drag you down.
Turn and fly, lest you fear not to die
Or the Kraken will soon drag you down.
(repeat to end)
