Based on “Eastrealm Battle Chant (One More Battle)” by Master Hector of the Black Height
One more pattern, one more fray,
One more cross-stitch, one more stay.
One more thimble on my thumb,
Eight more hours and I’ll be done.
Once again my thumb has bled,
My white tunic is stained red.
My only trim is pea soup green;
Just what does stay-stitching mean?
One more pattern, one more fray,
One more cross-stitch, one more stay.
One more thimble on my thumb,
Eight more days and I’ll be done.
Rolls of fabric on my floor
Wool and cotton, silk and more.
All of it I bought real cheap,
From Value Village up the street.
One more pattern, one more fray,
One more cross-stitch, one more stay.
One more thimble on my thumb,
Eight more weeks and I’ll be done.
To make my hood I sew a curve,
To fix the ends I use a surge.
I think its coming out all right
But in is out and left is right!
One more pattern, one more fray,
One more cross-stitch, one more stay.
One more thimble on my thumb,
Eight more months and I’ll be done.
Why’d I pick a cotehardie?
It is too advanced for me.
Look at all those buttoned sleeves!
I want to throw a fit and leave.
One more pattern, one more fray,
One more cross-stitch, one more stay.
One more thimble on my thumb,
Eight more years and I’ll be done!
