BLUE SUN ROOM FILK
Decided that Hotpoint's "Death or Glory" guys needed a unit song. Keying off the Unification War as a Civil War analogue, the tune for this song is "The Bonnie Blue Flag" a favorite of the Confederates.

Song of the 21st Lancers
We are a band of brothers who fight for Liberty
Spending blood and laminate to keep our people free
When hearth and home are threatened, and things are at their worst
With cries of “Death or Glory”, comes the mighty Twenty-First
Hurrah, hurrah, when things are at their worst
With cries of “Death or Glory” comes the mighty Twenty-First
Once we rode on horses and carried wooden spears
Now we ride Excaliburs designed by engineers
But whether horse or hover-tank still Lancers are the same
The foes of peace and freedom always tremble at our name
Hurrah, hurrah, still Lancers are the same
Our charge is irresistible, with rail-gun, mass and speed
The fear we strike in foemen’s hearts would make a Reaver plead
We’ll tell our foes “Well, you can run, if you are so inspired.
But it really doesn’t matter, you’ll just end up dying tired.”
Hurrah, hurrah, run if you’re so inspired.
So saddle up my comrades, the battle will come soon
Maybe on a Core world’s shore, or some abandoned moon
And when our people call us, the answer will be clear
Lancers ride to Death or Glory. Yes, the Twenty-First is here
Hurrah, hurrah, the answer will be clear
