For Boudicca

Boudicca!
I hear your war cry.
Sword to shield, 
Sword to shield,
I am alive and electric. 
My holy rage is 
Burning through my skin. 

Rise up!
Sword to sky,
Sword to sky,
Break bones and cut deep.
Feed the Roman oppressors
to The Land. 

Ignite! 
Sword through skin, 
Sword through skin, 
The skies turn red and
The rivers turn black.

We scorch the Earth, 
And we will do it again, 
To avenge our daughters, 
Revenge our kin. 

Andraste’s ferocity guides our way.   

While working with the spirit of Boudicca, much like when I worked with The Morrigan, she came to me in dreams. The words would just tumble out when I woke up, but I unfortunately did not remember them all. This was the most complete of what she gave me.
