Lyrics
Dawn has broke, the time has come,

Move your feet to the marching drum.

We'll win the war and pay the toll,

Fight as one in heart and soul.



Midnight mare and blood red roan,

Fight to keep this land your own

Sound the horn and call the cry,

How many of Them can we make die?



Axes flash, broadsword swing,

Shining armour's piercing ring.

Horses run with polished shield,

Fight those bastards till they yield!



Midnight mare and blood red roan,

Fight to keep this land your own.

Sound the horn and call the cry,

How many of Them can we make die?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[leanwellback]

YESSSSS. Rita is such a badass, I love this!

[ghost_lingering]

Awesome!

[rachelmanija]

I just loved this. The cadence was perfect for the intro, with the weapons being assembled and the power march in armor. And I loved the cool, slinky power as the music slowed and Rita slowly raised herself from the ground.


Also, thank you for introducing me to the song. It was great and I never even heard of it before.

You're welcome! Heather Alexander is a very niche artist -- she's a Celtic folk singer and musician, and a lot of her songs reflect that. Some are more memorable than others -- "March of Cambreadth" is one example, but a far more hilarious one is "Brannigan's Special Ale". (I would dare anyone to make a video of that song.)

Love it! This is Rita through and through.

[mithborien]

Festividder, this was great! I love the song choice and the repeated clips of the soldiers marching. They worked very well together. It all showcased Rita's baddassery very well. Thank you so much!

[bironic]

Yesss! Oh, so perfect with this music and all the ways you emphasized the beats with your cuts and motion.

[kiki_miserychic]

EFFF YESSSS I love your clip choices.

[anoel]

I love the focus on Rita and all the fun action scenes with her being awesome. And PERFECT ending shot, I will neeeeeever get tired of that.

I am such a glutton for these Edge vids that I pressed play on this before even reading your summary. So suddenly there's ALL THIS RITA in front of me and no Cage (well you have like three quick shots of him) and no other faces. JUST RITA. And suddenly it dawned on me that this is what the Battle of Verdun must have looked like!!! So thank you for visualizing so perfectly what we've only imagined and could only read in fic (if there's even fic for that idk). And then I read your summary and yup. You've done it, my friend!

Thank you! It was a bit of an interesting challenge, to be honest, and I'm glad that Mithborien gave me that as a direction to pursue. Not to say that there isn't quite a lot of footage with Rita in it, but there aren't as many shots that primarily focus on Rita alone, so crafting a vid that focused as much on her as possible, while syncing it up with the lyrics, was an enjoyable vidding quest.

Great vid! Love the song choice for Rita and your sharp editing.

[gwyn]

MY QUEEN. My full metal bitch. Thank you for making us a Rita vid, excellent song choice.

[cherry]

Ugggg, yes, this is perfect. RITA. RIIIITA.

[shallowness]

Oh, yeah! Loved the folk song in this context and the focus on Rita in action.

Gorgeous~!!~
