Anselm grinned like a maniac, leaning a few inches forward to get his voice across the roaring interior of the shuttle, "I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING A FULL-BODY REPLACEMENT, THEN I WON'T HAVE TO BE STUCK WITH THIS TINY BODY ANYMORE." Sitting back, the marine checked that all his ammo was secure and primed the action on his Styrling Dart before engaging the saftey. One last check over the saftey pins on the grenades strapped across his chest and the albino seemed to relax, whistling a tune under the engine's roar.
Grimacing at the noise, Anselm actually sung the words, displaying a fine, if drowned-out, timbre to his normally growling voice.
"We'll sing a song,
a soldier's song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning's light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
"Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Eiru's land;
Some have come from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free, No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the Bearna Baol
In Eiru's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
"In valley green, on towering crag,
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us.
We're children of a fighting race,
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march, the foe to face,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
"Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free, No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the Bearna Baol
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
"Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
The long watched day is breaking;
The serried ranks of Inisfail
Shall set the Tyrant quaking.
Our camp fires now are burning low;
See in the east a silv'ry glow,
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
So chant a soldier's song."
