LRR is looking for YOUR national anthem or your alliance anthem to make a compendium of diplomatic anthems, which will be available free over the internet or on CD.

The LRR national anthem:

"The Ode to Joy"

Oh friends, not these tones!
Let us raise our voices in more
pleasing and more joyful sounds!

BARITONE, QUARTET, AND CHORUS
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.

Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing.

May he who has had the fortune
To gain a true friend
And he who has won a noble wife
Join in our jubilation!

Yes, even if he calls but one soul
His own in all the world.
But he who has failed in this
Must steal away alone and in tears.

All the world's creatures
Draw joy from nature's breast;
Both the good and the evil
Follow her rose-strewn path.

She gave us kisses and wine
And a friend loyal unto death;
She gave lust for life to the lowliest,
And the Cherub stands before God.

TENOR SOLO AND CHORUS
Joyously, as his suns speed
Through Heaven's glorious order,
Hasten, Brothers, on your way,
Exulting as a knight in victory.

CHORUS

Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.

Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.

Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.

Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.

Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.

Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.

Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.

Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.

Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.

Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.

Joy, daughter of Elysium
Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing.

Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.

Joy, beautiful spark of Gods!,
Daughter of Elysium,
Joy, beatiful spark of Gods!.

It is always sung with full orchestral accompanyment. However, it is perfectly acceptable to play it on a banjo or as techno.

The national anthem of Bellarussian Monkeys is Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix:

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why
’scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me
Help me
Oh, no, no
[faint, spoken lyrics...all questionable]
Hammerin’
Talkin’ ’bout heart ’n’...s-soul
I’m talkin’ about hard stuff
If everbodys still around, fluff and ease, if
So far out my mind
Somethings happening, somethings happening
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, {click} ahhh,
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh, yeah!

Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh
Don’t know if it’s day or night
You got me blowin’, blowin’ my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

Ooo
Help me
Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze, yeah
Oh, no, oh
Oh, help me
Purple haze, tell me, baby, tell me
I can’t go on like this
Purple haze
You’re makin’ me blow my mind...mama
Purple haze, n-no, nooo
Purple haze, no, it’s painful, baby

Just to tick off people in sports stadiums (because it's long) our national anthem is "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.

The anthem of Lavenrunz is played to the tune of 'O Tannenbaum'

God save the Empress!
Preserve us and protect us!
Just and most generous,
In our defense relentless!
Let history preserve our fame,
We shall acclaim your glorious name!
God save the Empress
Preserve us and protect us!

When tides of enemies
Surround us with their armaments
No Lavenrunzian flees
We rush out to the battlements!
For if we do righteous stand
Our monarch will preserve the land
God save the Empress
Preserve us and protect us!

As on Earth the Crown stands for us
So in Heaven likewise God
We will be victorious
No matter what the awful odds
Let everyone in peaceful times
With acclaim in anthem chime
God save the Empress
Preserve us and protect us!

- Just listen to the songs "Lay You Down", "Poppin' them thangs" and "My Buddy" on the G Unit c.d and those are the national athems for Diminix. -

there is no national anthem for the f.i.s. per sey. much of the music is intrumental (vader's theme, subete no eichi wo eikoku he!, william's olympic spirit). there is one song that, while it is not a national anthem, it is woven into the very fabric of the f.i.s.

this one song is sung, usually, by the men of the front lines in the fisaf. the meaning of the words has been lost with time, and are probably with the true name of the royal city. ususally sung in an antiphonal format, but can be done in unison.

merely known as "the battle hymn":

leader:
wee'oh yay'oh
wee'oh yay'oh
pome va-ya ray

responce:
wee’oh ay rah
jer rume bru’lengee

unison:
wee'oh yay'oh
ay ‘ome va-ya ray
wee’oh ay rah
jer rume bru’lengee

wee'oh yay'oh
ay ‘ome va-ya ray

leader and half of respondents:
wee’oh ay rah
jer rume bru’lengee

leader:
wee’oh ay rah
jer rume bru’lengee

as near as the schollars can tell it is a solider's lament about the comrades that were left behind as they marched off in the service of their country.

Ours is 'Rule Trixia' the same tune as 'Rule Britannia' but you'll notice we changed the 1st word for 'Trixia' :wink:

Rule Trixia

Rule Tr-ix-ia
Tr-ix-ia Rule the waves
Tr-ix-ia, will never be the slaves!

Rule Tr-ix-ia
Tr-ix-ia Rule the lands
Tr-ix-ia, will never exchange hands!

Rule Tr-ix-ia
Tr-ix-ia Rule the air
Tr-ix-ia, will never not be the there!

Rule Tr-ix-ia
Tr-ix-ia Rule with ease
Tr-ix-ia, will never ever tease!

Rule Tr-ix-ia
Our anthems end is near
Tr-ix-ia, will always be here!

Thanks You, I did it myself :wink:

The national anthem of The Grand Duchy of Hell Bovines is "Cows With Guns" and its the only national anthem with its own clip! :D
The anthem tells the history of the bovine revolution, when our nation was born.

You can hear the anthem Here (http://www.shagrat.net/Html/cows.htm). (Takes a while to load but its really worth the time)

The national anthem of The Federal Republic of Aerigia is "O Glorious Aerigia".

Here is the tune to it:
http://www.fffin.com/Tiedostot/Midit/Final%20Fantasy%20VII%20XG/2-11%20Rufus's%20Welcoming%20Ceremony%20Xg.mid?PHPSESSID=198645024eb0677f0e13fff782eedd92

OOC: It is actually a very powerful and patriotic tune from Final Fantasy VII, Rufus Welcoming Ceremony, by Nobuo Uematsu

Our aim shall be to found a free land.
World peace be our stand.
Lead on, comrades, vanguards ye are.
Hold fast your aim, by sun and star.
Be earnest and brave, your country to save.
One heart, one soul, one mind, one goal

The Sliponian National anthem is as follows:

Talk about the Sooners, the Cowboys and the Buffs,
Talk about the Tiger and his tail,
Talk about the Wildcat, and those Cornhuskin' boys,
But I'm the bird to make 'em weep and wail.

'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah.
Got a bill that's big enough to twist the Tiger's tail.
Husk some corn and listen to the Cornhusker's wail.
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas Gale.

[to the theme of 'The Macarena']
All hail Jureq Invak MXI
He is really cool
We should worship him
All hail Jureq Invak MXI
Don't rebel
Your life isn't crappy
All other nations are much worse
Grinding poverty?
Hell no!
Compared to them you're like Rich Snobs
Enjoy your caviar
(it rhymes in Sabatkan)
