WE ARE RINGSTETTENS

So here it is, my first B-Movie Show filk, which is also my first filk based upon my own original works:

WE ARE RINGSTETTENS

(Küstrin, summer 1631. The Ringstetten siblings take leave of their parents)
GUSTAVUS (laughs): You see, we fight for freedom and we need a sterling lad like you...
HEDWIG (embracing Gerhard): I'll miss you, even though I have become a court lady.
GERHARD: And I will miss you, sis. I want to be at least a lieutenant!

(The Swedish camp at Werben, summer 1631)
(Gustavus Adolphus sings the first verse of Verzage nicht. Enter Gerhard, obviously lost.)

OFFICERS' DAUGHTERS, CAMP FOLLOWERS: Watch yourself!
You seem to have much pelf!
LISELOTTE: You must be the new ensign lad!
GERHARD: Who's that girl?
What starts now to unfurl?
COL. VON TARLENHEIM: Swear the oath to the flag...
Let the cat out of the bag!
GERHARD: Wait a minute... I feel great!
I just hope it's not too late...
RECON OFFICER: Magdeburg has been overrun!
(At Breitenfeld, 7th of September 1631, while fighting the Leaguers and chasing Tilly):
TILLY, WALLOONS: It's too late!
Swedes we should overrate!
GERHARD: We cannot relax!
Give the old count some whacks!
(In winter, in the Rhineland)
ALOIS: Oh... Aaaaaaaaaah... remember Wallenstein,
for he is next in line... oh-oh!
GERHARD: He must be redoubtable...
ALOIS: That is undoubtable... oh-oh!

(Springtime 1632, before crossing the Lech)
GUSTAVUS, SWEDES: Who will go
to the capital, below?
GERHARD: White waters are bubbling in the stream...
SWEDES: And, ere we get there, old Count
Jean Tilly
is there, upon that lea!
You think it would seem
that he'd let us? Dream!
He'll get in a fix...
It's cross the Lech or cross the Styx!

GERHARD, HEDWIG, LISELOTTE, ALOIS: We are Ringstettens
and Tarlenheims in this war...
We are Ringstettens...
fighting and drenched in gore...

(En route to the Old Holdfast, summer 1632)
LISELOTTE: Right when we were about to cross the Austrian border, there was a message from the Elector of Saxony. Wallenstein has invaded those lands!

(Summer 1632, at the Old Holdfast. Wallenstein has just released Gerhard and other subaltern POWs as his fire decimates the Swedes on the slope. Then, Wallenstein burns the holdfast to the ground. Gerhard rejoins the Swedes on the plain below, as the holdfast is burning)
HEDWIG: Was it weird?
GERHARD: Much weirder than I feared...
KURTIUS: I shut my eyes, and all will disappear... (He dies)
GERHARD, LISELOTTE, HEDWIG, ALOIS: This is strange...
LISELOTTE: Now things begin to change...
GERHARD, LISELOTTE, HEDWIG, ALOIS: Will we make it through
after such a coup?

(The 6th of November 1632, at Lützen, in the heat of battle. Gustavus is recognized and shot in the back by a Croat. Pappenheim and Gerhard shoot each other in the chest.)
GUSTAVUS, GERHARD, PAPPENHEIM, BERTHOLD V. WALLENSTEIN: There goes the sun,
here comes the mist,
I can no longer resist...
Somebody tell me that I'm going to live...
(At twilight, Liselotte finds Gerhard in the trench)
LISELOTTE (putting the canteen to his lips): Drink up, Lieutenant, this liquor I give...

(Winter 1632, on the Christmas marketplace in Leipzig)
HEDWIG, LISELOTTE: We are Ringstettens,
in Leipzig, we sell our lace...

(Spring 1632, back in camp)
HEDWIG, LISELOTTE, GERHARD: We are Ringstettens,
and fight for the Swede Banér...

(Autumn 1634, post-Nördlingen):
HEDWIG, LISELOTTE, GERHARD: We are Ringstettens,
and live on shrooms, nuts, and fruit...
