Battle Hymn of Iomedae - for fun

[Watcher]

One of my players did this for fun, for our upcoming Carrion Crown campaign (alternating with Serpents Skull). He's playing a paladin of Iomedae and got inspired. I'm quite pleased and with his permission I am sharing. The credit goes to him.

Battle Hymn of Iomedae (a Parody)
sung to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic
by Bengaltiger

1. Mine eyes have seen Iomedae
Destroy the Tyrants Horde ;
she is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored;
she hath loosed the fateful lightning
of her terrible swift sword;
Iomedae is marching on.
Refrain:
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Iomedae is marching on.

2. I have seen her in the watchfires
of a hundred circling camps,
they have builded her an altar
in the evening dews and damps;
I can read her righteous sentence
by the dim and flaring lamps;
Iomedae is marching on.
(Refrain)

3. She has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat;
She has sent the hearts of evil men
To Pharasmas’ judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer her;
be jubilant, my feet!
Iomedae is marching on.
(Refrain)

4. In the beauty of the lilies
She will bear us to the sea,
with a glory in her bosom
that transfigures you and me;
as she fights to make men holy,
let us die to make men free,
Iomedae is marching on.
(Refrain)

5. She is coming like the glory
of the sun upon the wave,
she is wisdom to the mighty,
she is honor to the brave;
To righteous men she’ll give the World,
To evil men a grave.
Our Goddess is marching on.
(Refrain)

You should man this is too awesome. In a game few years back a buddie of mine played a bard by. The name of stiffle stoutnose and he wrote a rap for his bard and he sang it all the time. It was funny too so our dm gave him some xp though the rap drove the dm nuts
