This version honours Hordriss. The original words are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Flag" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">on Wikipedia</a>. There's a performance <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujimUk4Mp64" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">here</a> of all six verses.</p>
<p dir="auto">The people's mage wears deepest red</p>
<p dir="auto">With matching streaks upon his head</p>
<p dir="auto">But do not think him stiff and cold</p>
<p dir="auto">His heart is made of purest gold</p>
<p dir="auto">[Chorus:]</p>
<p dir="auto">So praise the stars that Hordriss came</p>
<p dir="auto">To light our way with magic flame</p>
<p dir="auto">Though goblins flinch and run to Fear</p>
<p dir="auto">You're safe with Red Mage, dungeoneer</p>
<p dir="auto">He scared a skull ghost from his place</p>
<p dir="auto">Gave added scales to Brother Mace</p>
<p dir="auto">To Motley's voice he took offence</p>
<p dir="auto">He cursed Sir Hugh and made him dense</p>
<p dir="auto">[Chorus]</p>
<p dir="auto">It's Simon he first looked upon</p>
<p dir="auto">In Series 3, then he was gone</p>
<p dir="auto">He wasn't scared of Leo's sword</p>
<p dir="auto">He only left 'cause he got bored</p>
<p dir="auto">[Chorus]</p>
<p dir="auto">The spells he gives can save the day</p>
<p dir="auto">Though what BUT did, we cannot say</p>
<p dir="auto">A spanner might stop moving floors</p>
<p dir="auto">But Hordriss magic opens doors</p>
<p dir="auto">[Chorus]</p>
<p dir="auto">It suited him to help the good</p>
<p dir="auto">And fitted with his fatherhood</p>
<p dir="auto">While beggar, tortoise, witch or cat</p>
<p dir="auto">He still was great, remember that</p>
<p dir="auto">[Chorus]</p>
<p dir="auto">With head in helmet swear we all</p>
<p dir="auto">To praise him in each hallowed hall</p>
<p dir="auto">In dungeons dark or caverns grim</p>
<p dir="auto">And will not call his daughter dim</p>
<p dir="auto">[Chorus]</p>
