Alex – Extracts from Battle of Dongas (c)1997.

(From Tape Three)

Crops grew ripe
The tribe grew strong
Fires were lit
Beacons blazed bright
Many dancers danced
Many chants were chanted
Many songs were sung
Many pipes were piped

Merry were the tribe
They cared for each other
Strong in their spirits
These sisters and brothers
Vows they made at times of feasting
To guard the land against the strange ones
To stand fast and to fearlessly face
Those monsters from an alien race

Thus they vowed by wood and water
By air and fire and things of power
And the dragon danced to the sound of their laughter
