"Freedom" by Fleetwood Mac (written by Stevie Nicks and Mike Campbell)
Lyrics:
Written by Stevie Nicks and Mike Campbell.
Dim and wavering
On a wind-blown night
Whose honour, whose anger
Cold and quivering
As was the wind-blown night
Into which she'd fallen, fallen
Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Beautiful as you are
With that high spirit
Morning star of evil hit me
Cut me like a knife
Cool and collected
She became that with time
Totally rejected
Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
It's all in the eyes
It's all in the way that you look
It's all in the way that you say very little
It's all in the way that you talk
Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen, fallen, fallen
Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen
Freedom
Freedom
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Freedom
Come with me
Poor little fool

'Fraid I have no lyrics nor tunes for the national anthems of Hryvatia and Pictland (my other nation), although do have completely fictional names for each:
Pictland: Siansa Briseadh (Pictish: Symphony of Battle)
Hryvatia: Himna Kraljevina (Hryvátijan: Hymn of the Kingdom)
Incandescent Serenity: (or whatever FT people I'll muster; occasionally referred to simply as Serendipity) Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1gmgPFt_ww) (Latin: Lamb of God), to the tune of Barber's Adagio for Strings à la Homeworld.
Each sung in their respective languages, although as I've said I'm yet to determine exactly what the anthems would entail. Also I'm semi-sure that there's already, perhaps multiple "what's your nation's national anthem" threads and lists out there.

16-10-2008, 01:36
It's a song called "Vojvodina-Nihonese National Anthem", which goes like this:
Chorus: Statement singing the praises of Vojvodina-Nihon!
Assertion expressing a positive emotion.
Line juxtaposing ancient glories with modern triumphs.
Nationalist sentiment given form!
Verse I: Line consisting primarily of metaphor,
Line expounding ideological virtues through poetic language,
Now the song drops into a minor key....
and now it returns to a major key!
Reiteration of the name of the nation, in case anyone's forgotten!
Line that has become politically incorrect due to the passage of time,
Statement of what Vojvodina-Nihon is not,
Repetition of first line of the song, to lead into --
Chorus.
Verse II: First line of the second verse,
A different assertion expressing a different positive emotion.
Daa daa da daa, daa daa,
[four more lines in this vein]
Statement of something else Vojvodina-Nihon is not,
Repetition of the first line of the song, leading back to, etc.
Shockingly, it has never been exactly popular.

Historically performed as the former Uir governor sent from france was killed and subsequently had his house burnt to the ground where the present Uir government buildings stand. It was his favourite mozart piece and seemed an appropriate statement of freedom. Beautiful irony.

all good choices. i'd like to see some idiot come up with a hip-hop anthem lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FtALatAkSM&feature=related
In Russian, not Romanian, of course. Of particular controversy is the lyrics celebrating the "eternal friendship and solidarity" with the people of British Londinium, a nation whose entire population was exterminated and whose foreign policy both prior to and during their alliance with Vetalia was associated with imperialism, war, and extreme and arbitrary acts of violence against colonial and domestic populations.
Anthem of the Free Corps:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mChHZLBhP3c
Identical to the lyrics of the actual song, it became symbolic of the Corps' struggle to reclaim Vetalia from the decay and corruption prior to the NDPV's rise to power, in particular the real and bloody struggles against organized crime and rogue military units, as well as colonial rebellions. Over 4,300,000 volunteers served in the Corps during this struggle, and 270,000 were killed in that service.
This song, along with "The Sacred War", have considerable personal meaning to the Vetalian people and any mocking or disrespect towards them and the struggles they represent would turn out badly.

youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUYyjzuyyfg
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, de fiere Vlaamse Leeuw,
Al dreigen zij zijn vrijheid met kluisters en geschreeuw.
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, zolang een Vlaming leeft,
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, zolang een Vlaming leeft,
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.
De tijd verslindt de steden, geen tronen blijven staan:
De legerbenden sneven, een volk zal nooit vergaan.
De vijand trekt te velde, omringd van doodsgevaar.
Wij lachen met zijn woede, de Vlaamse Leeuw is daar
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, zolang een Vlaming leeft,
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.
Hij strijdt nu duizend jaren voor vrijheid, land en God;
En nog zijn zijne krachten in al haar jeugdgenot.
Als zij hem machteloos denken en tergen met een schop,
Dan richt hij zich bedreigend en vrees'lijk voor hen op.
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, zolang een Vlaming leeft,
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.
Wee hem, de onbezonnen', die vals en vol verraad,
De Vlaamse Leeuw komt strelen en trouweloos hem slaat.
Geen enkle handbeweging die hij uit 't oog verliest:
En voelt hij zich getroffen, hij stelt zijn maan en briest.
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, zolang een Vlaming leeft,
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.
Het wraaksein is gegeven, hij is hun tergen moe;
Met vuur in't oog, met woede springt hij den vijand toe.
Hij scheurt, vernielt, verplettert, bedekt met bloed en slijk
En zegepralend grijnst hij op's vijands trillend lijk.
Zij zullen hem niet temmen, zolang een Vlaming leeft,
Zolang de Leeuw kan klauwen, zolang hij tanden heeft.

One of my favorite songs, The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:
His day is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.
He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,
He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,
So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,
Our God is marching on.
(Chorus)
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Our God is marching on.

Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
Never begins it, never, but once engaged...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
Dont tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that youll hear evermore...
Dont tread on me
Love it or live it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as lighting strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveillance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
Dont tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure peace is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that youll hear evermore...
Dont tread on me

To secure peace is to prepare for war

Yeah, this one's for the workers who toil night and day
By hand and by brain to earn your pay
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead
In the factories and mills, in the shipyards and mines
We've often been told to keep up with the times
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed
[Chorus:]
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
And when the sky darkens and the prospect is war
Who's given a gun and then pushed to the fore
And expected to die for the land of our birth
Though we've never owned one lousy handful of earth?
[Chorus x3]
All of these things the worker has done
From tilling the fields to carrying the gun
We've been yoked to the plough since time first began
And always expected to carry the can
At present, there is no standing national anthem in Tokyoni (though there are a variety of political anthems in favor of the present government). Japan and Korea retain their present national anthems used at events and local government functions.
