Long ago, In the dark ages,
In the Archipelago (Isles) of Aniane,
Lived many clans whom lived in Peace,
Ania there name was,
Dear and Bear,
Wildcat and Ram,
Through the Pastures and Forest,
Off they hunted,
On the Seas and Rivers they Glided,
Were they fished and Paddled,

Around there Busy Village Homes,
In this state of universal Happy,
All whom lived contented,
Spring Blossomed into Summer,
Summer into Autumn, Winter,
Thus the Seasons in Succession,
Never Ending seemed to pass on,

But Behold a Cloud Arises,
Changed how soon this peaceful aspect,
Neighboring States and distant Enemy's of the North,
Suddenly Disturbed this Peace,
Then Caius Finis Vallorum, Aged Chieftain of the Ania Confederation,
Made quick Inquiry,

Whom shall go and give the Warning?,
Of Such dire and Dreadful Danger,
To yet are far flung Brothers,

Yet none wished to Make this such Journey,
Then Spoke up the Noble Armando Carvalho,
Son of the Old Chieftain

Oh My Father I am ready,
Send me on this Gracious Arin,
If we shall remain a nation,
We must stand by One Another,
So have me let us come together,
In devotion to our Brethren,
And Catch ourselves Forgetting,
Let us see a Higher Vision,
Let Us find a Greater Beauty,
In this life of Cheerful Reverent Service,

So off upon the trails they started,
Old Caius and Young Armando Carvalho,
And in all Villages, they Found many willing to Expend themselves for others,
In yet others Service and Posterity,

And when at last,
The fierce Marauders of the Northern Lands,
Where Pushed Back to there Own Country,
And Peace was Declared Between them all,

And so they Gave an Offer for the Service of themselves and Brethren,
To the Places most Respected,
By the Chieftain New, Armando Carvalho,
To Serve ones Fellows, all his fellow Ania,

Like a Seed Dropped by the sower,
To grow in Quick Fulfillment,
Under the Rule of there Chieftain,
To find Acceptance, To make Mans Memory Lasting,
So Together Fast and Firmly,

Carvalho Founded These Warriors,
In a Safe and Secure Order,
To Which can Be admitted,
Only those whom cast there own Interests,
Together to Serve Others and the Lord,

And Firm is there Purpose,
So Live among Companions,
And to Show There Devotion,
Shall Propose Them to the Order,

And so Ania Creates this Order, (Knights of St. Andrew)
To show our Devotion, to Aniane, Yahweh and to the Protection and Service of our Fellow man.

Cheerful Service, Firm Justice, Everlasting Freedom,
