Royal Guard Anthem (From the novel “The Queen’s Game”)

Royal Guard Anthem (from the novel "The Queen's Game")

by Yury Nesterenko

("King" is replaced with "Queen" when needed)

For the Flag and the King our morglays we swing
Fierce in fight, glorified by the bards,
Both our arms and our will are as stubborn as steel,
As the guards will forever be guards!

For the Flag and the King, under Blue Dragon wing,
Be it flood, be it blood - no regards,
We will stand and defend our land to the end,
As the guards will forever be guards!

For the Flag and the King our anthem we sing,
It's forever enchased in our hearts
And His Majesty knows that in heat and in snows
All his guards will forever be guards!

(The fourth unofficial verse added by an unknown Guard)

For the Flag and the King our wine we will drink,
Here we also are famous diehards -
No man in the town ever can drink us down
As the guards will forever be guards!
