Mongol Warriors: Life As We Know It

Ballad Lyrics by Bianca Burnette

Many a tale have been told about us

Some are false while others good and true

One thing remains, we are machines and plus

We are trained in the art of war, that’s all we do.

We are a force to be reckoned withIt is as simple or complicated as thatSome of the gruesome scenes are far from

mythReady to strike at any moment or face combat.

On horseback we ride day and night

We are skilled archers, good with bow and arrow

Even the best opponent is an easy fight

Our tactics come from our ancestors who lived long ago.

CHORUSWe are feared near and abroad

and rightly soWe are elite fighters known as

the Mongol warriorsOur leader Chinggis Khan, to

whom we all oweTrained us in the art of war to

become fierce battlers.

Born natural warriors we are trained from our youthWe learn to ride, hunt, fight, and ultimately killAll energy focused toward conquest and the forcible exaction of

tributeThere is no time to quarrel instead we seek to kill, oh the thrill!

We are extremely mobile and physically tough

Wielding a variety of weapons; lances, hatchets, iron maces

Gaining more territory of which there is never enough

We move wherever Khan leads us which are all kinds of places.

The very lifestyle of our people breeds mobility

Chinggis Khan and other commanders bring discipline and organization

With a fighting people, it is nice to have some stability

Our forces are divided into units called tumens.

CHORUSWe are feared near and abroad

and rightly soWe are elite fighters known as

the Mongol warriorsOur leader Chinggis Khan, to

whom we all oweTrained us in the art of war to

become fierce battlers.

The armour in which we fight is worth discussingIt is a mix of materials primarily based on hard

leatherSteel plates are added to make it extra tough for

breakingIt’s a mix of heavy armour along with some light as a

feather.

There is no doubt or squabble because we are the bestBy the second decade of the 13th century we were an

inevitable forceTrained, disciplined, and mobile far better than the restWe conquer the east and west on the back of our horse.

While we are known as warriors of military excellence

We are gentleman on the personal level

We are men of good character, respect, and obedience

We avoid all morbidity by staying joyous and cheerful.

CHORUSWe are feared near and abroad

and rightly soWe are elite fighters known as

the Mongol warriorsOur leader Chinggis Khan, to

whom we all oweTrained us in the art of war to

become fierce battlers.

Now that you know a little about us you seeWe live a hard life but we would have it no

other wayThe thrill and adrenaline keeps us moving,

ah sweet victory!Conquering the world is our vision and we

are not far away.
