Banshee

Intro: A A G D x4 E E E E

A A G D x 4 E E E E
Don’t trust the king with blood on his mind
inclined to defile whatever catches his eye
In the name of his gods he’ll pillage and rage
divine consent for the wars he will wage

They’ll tell stories of glory and grails
while the banshees and bagpipers wail

Intro x2

He’ll rally the troops for his noble cause
with inspiring speeches to rouse their applause
as battering rams break through city walls
the victorious stand where enemies fall

In battles the righteous prevail
while the banshees and bagpipers wail

Bridge: E E F G x4

Intro x2

If there is freedom then battles were won
before mercy arrived they lost fathers and sons
even the king is a man who can fall
in his death he’d won nothing at all

crimson rivers that flowed from his mail
while the banshees and bagpipers wail

Outro: E E G D x4
Banshee
Standing over the king

End: E E E E A

Aside from the intro running a bit long (maybe use only two measures of the drums instead of four?), I don't have any complaints about this. Your implementation of the challenge was my favorite of the week, which was almost enough to vault you to my #1 spot on its own - I took a while trying to figure out whether to give it to you or to Frank. I like that reedy instrument anchoring the melody, and the medieval 3/4 time war drum beat. The whole things works really well for me, and it builds to a rousing crescendo when the background vocals join in. Excellent work.
