Hold tight your needles, fair maidens

They're mighty like a sword

Thread and weave your tales and fables

They spread like a plague once born

Whisper stories to children and lovers

A torch underneath the sheets

Tell them all how we rose up

To slay the fearsome beast

This is what we stand to lose

Love after war if that's what we choose

Hold close to your chest your cards

They'll shield you from the cold

Play them right, you queen of hearts

Don't be afraid to be bold

Raise your voice and your fists

If you must defend

A call to arms, my lovely ladies

You must protect your brethren

Every night you go to sleep, dream of flowers

Every morning that you wake, climb the tower

Every river that you ford, leap with grace

Every battle that you fight, it's endurance, not a race

Every night you go to sleep, dream of flowers

Every morning that you wake, climb the tower

Every river that you ford, leap with grace

Every battle that you fight, it's endurance, not a race
