Armada of the Dead's marching song
The Armada of the Dead had a marching song they would sing when marching through the mire. The sky pirates would march in a single file, all connected with a rope around their waste following the brazier-carrier. To keep a steady rythm, they chanted in unison in a dirge-like marching song about their enemies, notably Mother Muleclaw II and General General Tytugg.
Role in the Edge Chronicles
In Freeglader, the Armada of the Dead sang their marching song when they walked to the Great Mire Road to help the undertowners during the Third Great Migration. Rook found the steady beat helpful to keep marching, even though he was exhausted.[1]
Text
One 'n two 'n three 'n four, mud in the eye to old Muleclaw!
Five 'n six 'n seven 'n eight; chase her back to the Mire Gate!
One 'n two 'n three 'n four; Tytugg's goblins at the door...
Five 'n six 'n seven 'n eight; leave the hammerhead to his fate...[1]
