Here we be
Gith pirates we
Sailing Astral storms
With our thoughts' might
We'll drink and fight
And kill mindflayer swarms
So here we stand
In mindscape land
Brandishing silver swords
And we strike fast
With cannon blast
And cutting silver cords
Githyanki pirates! Githyanki pirates!
Travelling wide and far!
Githyanki pirates! Githyanki pirates!
The last ones from the bar!
Githyanki pirates! Githyanki pirates!
Fighting for Zalachar!

This is golden! It sings right off the page! And, PIRATES!!! They seem to be having a moment here at FAWM this year. I'm loving it. I really like the obvious Sea Shanty feel, and the cool Astral twist to it all. Great write!

I can picture this being a rousing bar or ship song, I like the call and response motif with “GITHYANKI PIRATES!” - to hype up the crew and make sure they know who you are!
