    This sounds like a great song to hum to yourself as you retreat after burying enemy soldiers in a mudslide.

    I have to agree this song really does sound like a teaching song. Brought here by Embers by Vathara, one of the best stories I've ever read. Vathara ranks up there with the great author whose books this song comes from in my opinion. Mercedes Lackey and Vathara both craft with such skill and attention to detail.

    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Drive your quarry where you choose
    Baffle them with trick and ruse
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Snares are meant to catch and hold
    Loop a vine with naught to hide it
    Place just where the over-bold
    Stick a foot or head inside it
    Hook it to a counter-weight
    Or a young and sturdy sapling
    Use their manly pride as bait
    Catch them with it's sudden grappling
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Drive your quarry where you choose
    Net them so they can’t get loose
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Deadfalls kill the prey with weight
    Dropping down from high above them
    Make it look like act of fate
    Rocks and limbs with none to shove them
    Carve the triggers out with care
    Hide them so that none can see them
    Greased with fat from boar or bear
    So the slightest touch will free them
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Drive your quarry where you choose
    Lost without a hope or clue
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Hidden pits for them to tread
    Drop them down to kill or maim them
    Men can’t fight if they are dead
    Men march slower if you lame them
    Line the holes with wooden spikes
    Harden tips within the fire
    Row on row like warrior’s pikes
    Give them more than they desire
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Drive your quarry where you choose
    Dead men cannot carry news
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Lead them on and lead them wrong
    Make it look like nature’s crafting
    Fear and greed will drive them on
    Bite your tongue to keep from laughing
    Let them think they’ve won the war
    While the noose draws ever tighter
    Deadly though these brigands are
    Traps can take the toughest fighter
    Snare and deadfall, pit and noose
    Drive your quarry where you choose
    With no choice except to lose

    “A few more marines fell in as they retreated, Rikiya humming under his breath. Zuko stifled a snort of laughter. Caught Shirong's questioning glance, and mouthed, *Explain later.*
    Hopefully, later would be where Shirong could break a few rocks and burn things without drawing a whole army down on their heads.
    The Dai Li was upset enough with the reality of Low War. Knowing the Fire Nation wrote songs about it...
    *I don't get people, but even I know that's not going to go over well.*
    He really hoped Fong paid attention, this time.”
