Riddles

[vexx32]

Er, not quite so old as that. XD

[StrandedonEarth]

'Tis the tune of an ancient song;

The harbinger's call heralds harms,

Gathers rich, poor, right and wrong.

Menace be mustered with psalms

And shoes; let the sieges begin.

Every man has their day,

Every man has their flaws and sin,

But all today enter, and pray.

At sovereign behest, the day is done,

But only then, and not before.

The endless songs are sung in fun,

Yet the silent song has solemn core

A call to arms?

A marching song?

A battle cry?

[vexx32]

Nope to all three.

[Starwhip]

The cycle of day and night.

Now we're just throwing stuff at the wall, and seeing what sticks.

[StrandedonEarth]

It certainly sounds like something to unite the people against a common enemy...

Warmongering?

[vexx32]

The cycle of day and night.

Now we're just throwing stuff at the wall, and seeing what sticks.

Nope, although it is somewhat symbolically related, if not directly so.

It certainly sounds like something to unite the people against a common enemy...

Warmongering?

Nope. Again, war is related, but it is not specifically about war or anything directly having to do with war itself.

[StrandedonEarth]

The wall seems to be made of Teflon^TM

Death?

Armageddon/Apocalypse/Doomsday?

[vexx32]

Absolutely not. x4

[Souper]

Irish bar fight?

Poland right before germany invaded it?

An afterschool fight?

politically-correct snip ;)

[Nemrav]

mourning,

war heroes

separation.

never been good at riddles and haven't looked beyond the last page for what's already guessed, but i'd say its something to do with gallantry etc.

[vexx32]

None of the above.

[Nemrav]

hope,

perserverance, (idk the grammar)

call of duty (not the game)

triumph over _____

hmmm..... tell us if its an emotion/object/figure/ideal/ something pretty general.... if we dont get it right by the next page

the riddle in question :

'Tis the tune of an ancient song;

The harbinger's call heralds harms,

Gathers rich, poor, right and wrong.

Menace be mustered with psalms

And shoes; let the sieges begin.

Every man has their day,

Every man has their flaws and sin,

But all today enter, and pray.

But only then, and not before.

[Red Iron Crown]

Patriotism.

None of those.

Patriotism.

Nope.

Time for a solid clue, I think:

It's a physical object (&/ the use of the object).

Bother. Since I'm rubbish at phrasing clues, that's probably going to make it more obscure.

This probably makes more sense:

• It's a recreational or competitive activity.

A bell?

A horn?

A trumpet?

SPORTS! *fingers crossed*

Edited September 14, 2014 by Souper

[vexx32]

No, no, no, no.

I mean, it's called a sport by some, but that's really debatable.

[StrandedonEarth]

Soccer!

And (soccer) shoes; let the sieges begin.

And an ancient sport indeed

...Boxing?

Fencing?

Hunting?

...Boxing?

Fencing?

Hunting?

What part of "debatable" do you two not understand? Pretty much all of those are universally considered some manner of sport.

None of the above~

[StrandedonEarth]

Ya, I realized the debatable part after. In that vein, I'll say.... NHL hockey! I wish they'd get back to a finesse game

Seriously now, that makes me think Fox Hunting, with the good ole' hound chase

[vexx32]

Nope, sorry.

[StrandedonEarth]

.... er.. rooster fighting or dog fighting

[vexx32]

Heh, nope.

[cantab]

Darts? Really just fits the clues more than the riddle...

Edit: Or tapdancing, or dancing in general, because why else would you mention shoes.

[vexx32]

Nope. The shoes have a very good reason for being in there, I promise.
