This is again for  tamias6 ; a setting of his lyrics to the Battle Hymn of his Kingdom. Here I have completed all the stanzas with the main melody, voice, and piano playing the chords, however, in the final version the accompanying instrument will be a pipe organ. I mostly did the piano just to make a blueprint of what the harmonic language would be.

Lyrics:

Battle Hymn of the Chipmunk Kingdom
Written By Tamias6

Our bows and arrows are the Sun
Our Tawa shineth unfailing
Our Strength amid the darkness
Of pedators prevailing
For still Eternal Night
Doth Seeks life’s undoing
It’s rage boils and seethes
And consumed in cruel hate
Unmatched and unequaled

Did we without the light confide,
Our struggles would be in vein
Were not for our Great Cheiftain
The Chipmunk of Tawa’s Choosing
Hakooji, it is he;
Our Hero brave and bold
Inspired us from age to age
To cast our votes for day
We must win the battle!

And though the darkness still contrives
Threatening life with hateful wrath
We fear it not for Tawa hath willed
His light to triumph through us
The servants of darkness grim
We tremble not for them
Their claws we can endure
For hark, their doom is sure
Felled by the great light

That great light shining above all
Feeding life to all that draws breath.
Its Spirit and Powers given to us
Through Tawa who with us sideth
Let Larders and Kindred go
Mortal Claims also
The Body they may kill
Tawa’s light Triumphs still
His good light is Eternal.
