My battle cry

quote:
Surrender now, you can not win! ... all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS
What is your real battle cry?

The only battle cry I can seem to think of right now is...
[Smile]

"Remember, the enemy's gate is down"

...Heehee, I hope Ralphie sees this [Smile]

Unintelligeble screaming is the internationally approved method of communicating dissatisfaction.

First off, I'm fairly certain that is for the badger kings.

Second off. My battle cry is (in a deep feudal samuri voice) "GGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUU" (G-you-new). Which is japanese for milk.

Oh, Rabbit! I think I'll just stick with yours. And toss in a few dozen redemption songs, and that'll be pretty darn invincible! I'm doing a compilation CD of redemption songs. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here's the lineup so far.

We Shall Overcome
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
U2 - New Year's Day
Sam Cooke - Change is Gonna Come
Hymn - Love at Home
Sam Cooke - Bring it on Home to Me
Sam Cooke - Touch the Hem of His Garment
Another Lullabye
The Smashing Pumpkins' - Tonight, Tonight

Toretha's suggestions:
Peter Paul and Mary - Great Mandela
Peter Paul and Mary - Greenwood
Peter Paul and Mary - No Easy Walk to Freedom
Woody Guthrie - This Land is Your Land
Down by the Riverside

Anyone have any more ideas? We need at least a 2 cd set, I think, to save the whole world with. Don't you?

You know? Sometimes hate and death and chaos seem pretty powerful. Then I remember that the Rabbit is on our side. And I'm just completely sure again that there is nothing at all to fear. That we will win in the end, and indeed already HAVE won. [Smile]

Oh.... Oh.... Tonight, Tonight always makes me cry... I watched a really good Anime Music Video with that song, and I'm no longer immune to crying whenever I hear it.

Uh... didn't I put that one on the list? <laughs> Yep, I meant to add that one too. <sheephish smilie>

But there should be some more Bob Marley songs on there too, shouldn't there? Since that's all he ever had? [Smile] Yet I can't think of any others.

Abby, me too! [Cry] I love the Pumpkins. I've been having a Pumpkins revival lately. All their music is like that. Underneath the love and desperation it's just so full of hope. [Smile]

I hadn't listened to ANY Pumpkins music before that.... Now I'm thinking I might have to...

By the way, [Cry]

Here's another good redemption song. I forget what it's called, but it's that song from Les Miserables that goes:

We will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord
We will walk behind the plowshare, we will put away the sword
The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward

Will you join in our crusade
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see...

The ultimate war cry in my opinion is silence, believe me there is nothing scarier than a silent enemy. Plus screams and yells tend to draw fire, which isn't appreciated by your buddies.

Plus in my opinion the ultimate battle cry is the echo which is resounds. As you said all evil tyrants have fallen, but then so have all the times of peace. I always liked the style of the Mongols that being you had one chance to surrender, if you didn't well then all the men paid the price. Those crazy men on horseback sent the cultural capital of the world , the middle east, into a down ward spin, from which it really hasn't recovered.

I don't know how this got onto redemption songs, but a favourite "war cry" of mine is from The Medea:

"Let no one think of me as weak and submissive, a cipher - but as a woman of a very different kind, dangerous to my enemies and good to my friends."

And then there's the Fraser clan motto: "Je suis prest." ("I am ready.")
