"What do I do now?" said the pageboy to the Guard,
"I have spent my whole life waiting, defending Bar'Akah,
And now you say this loyal towne has fallen and is lost,
The King of evil Perennay has seized the furres and crops.

Then the Guard said "Oh my poor boy, we must put them to the sword,
For the Queen in all her mercy will find a just reward.
For the noblefurres and merchants, and Knights of ready paw
Who will be the Queen's crusaders, send word both near and far.

Oh Bar'Akah is lost,
Oh Bar'Akah is lost,
Oh Bar'Akah is lost."

"Tell me what to do," said the Queen upon her throne,
"But speak to me in whispers, for we are not alone,
They tell me now that Bar'Akah has fallen to the hand
Of some bedeviled southern menace who has seized the loyal land."

Then the counselor said "Lady, we must call upon our foes
Sodore, Badlands, La'Vonte to end our bitter wars.
All 'Cositans must be as one and gather for the fight,
You will be their leader, begin the Battle cry,

Oh Bar'Akah is lost,
Oh Bar'Akah is lost,
Oh Bar'Akah is lost."

Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Bar'Akah,
There stood Synistrad, the King of the Perennay,
Whoring and drinking and snoring and singing, around him his army lay,
Secure in the knowledge that he had won the day.

A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest,
"Atas'Cosita's coming!" he said, "I have seen their flag in the west!"
In a rage Synistrad struck him down with his knife,
And he said, "I know that this furre lies,
They quarrel too much, and Allcroft could never unite!

I am invincible, I am the King,
I am invincible, and I will win..."

Closer they came, the army of good Lady Faxifor,
Marching by day and night, they knew what they quested for.
And when the crusaders came over the mountains, saw ravaged Bar'Akah
They fell to their knees and prayed to Primes afar.

They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm,
With guardsmen and good knights and harsh cries of war,
They poured through the city walls.
The traitors were flying and screaming and dying,
And the Faxifor swords were strong,
And Synistrad fled when he heard their victory song;

"We are invincible, freedom of kin,
We are invincible and we will win!"

"What do I do now?" said the Wise furre to the Fool.
"I have spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule,
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains,
Of those enemies together, could it be that way again?"

And the Fool said, "Oh you Wise men, you really make me laugh,
With your talk of vast persuasion, and searching through the past.
There is only greed and evil in the furres who fight today,
The song of the crusader has long since gone away,

Oh Bar'Akah is lost,
Oh Bar'Akah is lost,
Oh Bar'Akah is lost...

Bar'Akah."
