Post your national anthems here.

Sevaris uses the Nationalist Song, which is actually the "Aces High March" from the 1969 movie Battle of Britain. It has no words, but we like it because the music speaks of a proud nation's army, going off to defend itself both at home and abroad.

We use 'Ode to Joy' as our anthem. in REAL German.

Our national anthem is "Ode to Torsg God" nationalistic deeply religious song. Song lyrics are based in events of the Book of Torsg.

Ever seen the film Zulu? Remember the theme music? There y'go :)

Bayeza abafana bancane wema
Bayeza abafana bancane wema
Baphethe iqwasha, baphethe ibazooka
Bathi "Sangena savuma thina,
Lapha abazange bengena abazali bethu
Nabadala, bayasikhalela thina ngoba asina voti."

(The young boys are coming,
the young boys are coming.
They carry homemade weapons and a bazooka.
They say "We have agreed to enter a place
that has never been entered before
by our parents or our ancestors
and they cry for us, for we do not have the right to vote.)

Hayiyaah!

The west is sleeping in a fragile freedom
Forgotten is the price that was paid
Ten thousand years of marching through a veil of tears
To break a few links in these chains
These things come to us by way of much pain
Don't let us slip back into the dark
On a visible but distant shore -- a new image of man
The shape of his own future, now in his own hands -- he says:

Chorus:
One 'man, one vote -- step into the future
One 'man, one vote -- in a unitary state
One 'man, one vote -- tell them when you see them
One 'man, one vote -- it's the only way

Bayeza abafana abancane
(The young boys are coming)

Hayiyaah!

In the east a giant is awakening
And in the south we feel the rising tide
The soul inside the spark that gives breath to your life
Can no longer be made to hide
These things come to us by way of much pain
Don't let us slip back into the dark
On a visible but distant shore -- a new image of man
The shape of his own future, now in his own hands -- he says:

Yay for having a website and a customly composed anthem:

The Okyton Empire uses: Sing for absolution by MUSE.

If you dont know it, you must find it its a great song, i'm wondering wether i should use Apocalypse Please by MUSE instead?

Mine (to the tune of The Star Spangled Banner)
Oh, the might of the world,
Blue flags and Red
But one flag stands out
As a great warning
Green and White, with banners adrift
It's might will never shift
Lastinia, Lastinia
We all hail to thee.

The, ah, theme from The Prisoner!

Be seeing you.

Well, I've not really gotten around to a national anthem yet...does the hundred and eighty year old National Hymn qualify?

The Smoke of Unsterbank

The rippling thunder
A chorus ‘cross the waves
Comes the time to prove
If we be heroes or if we be knaves

Through the smoke
And o’er the din
When all seems lost
A man called in:

[chorus]
“Stand to, my boys!
“Stand to, my boys!
“Naught but glory’s to be had!
“Stand to, my boys!
“Stand to, my boys!
“Shieldian tars can’t be beat.
“Run out the guns
“And fire ‘em
“Stand to, my boys!”

Now the mainmast’s gone
And the rudder is shot
A coward whimpers,
“For nothing - We'll all be forgot!”

From the quarterdeck
Milord Tri does roar
“We’ll have them yet -
“Jus’ give ‘em one more!”

[chorus]

The National Anthem (still called a Hymn, regardless) here goes to the music of the Romanian national anthem.

Hymnus de Imperium Coronalis

Valer-ian the Great Saint,
Forever is he over us.
With his kind blessings, he paints,
The fate of the Valerian race,
The fate of the Crown Empire!

From peak to peak doth his words
Echo the glory of battles fought
And all of the great High Lords
Rule in the image that The Original
One so painfully did sought!

[Chorus]
From fertile plains do we rise
To dominate our enemies
May we never see the demise
Of St. Valerian’s amenities
Of the Great Crown Empire!

Through Baden’s high snowy peaks
And Syl’Vana’s vast fo-rests
For countless and gruesome weeks
Did our soldiers crush pests.
The Enemy of our great land!

From vast Tabrizian Plainlands
To the Alexandrian Nation
Did St. Valerian guide us
To force their capitulation
Under our mighty hands!

[Chorus]

The Okyton Empire uses: Sing for absolution by MUSE.

If you dont know it, you must find it its a great song, i'm wondering wether i should use Apocalypse Please by MUSE instead?

to the tune of the Soviet anthem

Respublik Sovetskiy

The great Union of people,we are proud of you,
Our glorious land, lasting age long.
Under the crimson flag of the free,
our mighty republic remebered in song.

Chorus;
Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great kroblexskij has for'ever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

From the South forests to the polar edge
Our seas and fields were stretched.
One you in the light! One you such -
Native land, restored by God!

chorus

We fought for the Future, destroyed the invader,
and Brought to our Homeland the Laurels of Fame.
Our Glory will live in the Memory of Nations
and All Generations will Honour Her Name.

chorus

The Mindsettian National Anthem in MP3 format. (http://themindset.illspirit.co.uk/mindsetanthem.mp3)

Inner Universe from Stand Alone Complex.
I'll post the lyrics after I finish copying them from the DVD.

As I recall, its 'We can rule you wholesale', very moving song...evicting one might say.

"Hooked on a Feeling"

Oooga-chaka-oooga-oooga-oooga-chaka-oooga-oooga-oooga-chaka...

I use smothing rather similar to the march of the volunteer same tune.
The words are.
QÑ lái! bu yuan zuo nu li de ren men!

Bã wÚ men de xue rou.

ZhÜng hua min zu' dao le zui wei xian de shi nou.

Mei ge ren bei po zhe fª chñ zui hou de hou shÂng.

QÑ lái! QÑ lái! QÑ lái!

WÚ men wan zhong yi xin mao zhe di ren de pao hôo

Qian jin! mao zhe di ren de pao hôo.

Qian jin! Qian jin! Qian jin!


the english would be
Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves!

With our flesh and blood, let us build our new Great Wall!
From each one the urgent call for action comes forth.

Arise! Arise! Arise!

Millions with but one heart,

Braving the enemy's fire.

March on!

Braving the enemy's fire.

March on! March on! March on!

Check out The Barrier Reefs national anthem here http://members.rogers.com/drummerman/anthem.html

See that high flag blow
The wind carries it so
Over the lands of our Proud Land of Free
Our glories our pride, our strength and our hope
The land of our forefathers
Hardened and strong

Many battles we have faught
Over Hillside, and sea side
We march through it all, the knowledge we bear
For this land is our own
We will fight for it
Arise arise!
Meet the new day with every new new victory

All praise the emperor
Wise and strong
Our grand leader, our savior
Remember the words of old
We fight for truth, for justice, we fight for you

Remember those words as this nation stays grand
Do not let it crumble like sand
For we are the one
Chosen by those gone
To lead our nation to glory
Everyone of us, to the end of our story

I went through a lot of possible theme songs for the Dominion. I rejected John Williams' Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme) for the obvious reason that every SW lunatic on the boards has probably already chosen it. The same goes for everyone's favorite war music- Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries from his Ring Operatic cycle

Next was Jerry Goldsmith's theme from Patton, which is always stirring.

The strongest contenders were:
Joseph Mouret's Rondeau (better known to Americans as the theme from Masterpiece Theater), and Horst's Mars: Bringer of War from The Planets.

But I finally went with Pachelbel's Canon in D because it is too damned beautiful to be overlooked.

Hadula's official anthem is the Internationale, but there variants around different parts, usually differing among the Portugese, Asian, and Native people in Hadula.
