Pankration and the Talus
ENLORES, REFRANCES TO AN APPROACH
THE GEMS OF WORTHYNESS SO WE'VE BEEN TOLD
THE NAME OF THE BEAST THROUGH VICTOROUS SCALYES
SCARES OF BATTLES SING A TALE
GRAPPLE YE MIGHT I GAIN VICTORY
BOUT AFTER BOUT THAN MIGHT CASEAR HEAR
HE SHALL CALL ON ME TO STAND HONOROUS AND BRAG
AND GIFT ME AS I'M ENDEARED
THAT I LABOR AND CHORE TO SUGGESS
THOSE WHO WISH THE POSITION THAN MIGHT CONFESS
GLORIUS, GLORIUS MIGHT SUCH BOUT DO TELL
GRAPPLE THEM, GRAPPLE THEM
THE TALUS REPRESENTS
THE CHAMPION OF MEN
CELEBRATED CONFIDENCE
SPEAK MY NAME BEFORE I LABOR
THAN I SHALL KNOW I AM YOUR MAN
THE WOMEN WHO WISH TO BE
ASSOCATED WITH A WINNER
SHALL STAND NEAREST ME AND BELEIVE I'M BEST
TO BE CHALLENGED BY SOME OPPOSITION
IN A GRAPPLING CONTEST
