I'm just in the process of writing one. It's called 'supreme'. I was just wondering if anybody else has given this a thought.

Here is my current anthem, I've used about 5 :P

National Anthem (Changes frequently) (adapted from "The Dolphin's Cry" and "Overcome" by "Live)

Even now, the world is bleedin', but feelin' just fine all numb
in our castle where we're always free to choose, never free enough
to fight, i wish somethin' would break cuz we're runnin' out of time,
and i am overcome i am overcome
these women in the street, pullin' out their hair, my master's
in the yard givin' light to the unaware, this plastic little place
is just a step amongst the stairs
and i am overcome i am overcome this water in my lungs, i am overcome,
so drive me out out to that open field, turn the ignition off
and spin around, your help is here, but i'm parked in this open space
blockin' the gates of hell,
i am overcome
beautiful drowning this beautiful drowning this water
this water is in my lungs
and i am overcome, i am overcome
Life is like a shooting star,
it don't matter who you are,
if you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
we are lost 'til we are found
this phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over, over over oveeeeeer

Okay... good topic.


People of Frangland:

People of Frangland, stand and sing
We'll not kneel to lord or king
Sired by the light of the sun
People of Frangland, every one
May we be forever free
Free to roam, free to dream
Free to live; we will fight
E'er to always keep these rights
For those who have fought, defied
For those who have bled and died
For the flag, we proudly hale!
People of Frangland e'er prevail!

--------

the tune is in my head and will stay there. hehe. imagine the song as you will.

Historically Republics do not have national anthems.

The US did not have one until the modern olympic games for example.

Therefore the people of the United States of Endorak will stick to their true Republican beliefs and have no national anthem.

San Verdi

Here's the national anthem of San Verdi, sung to the tune of 'Oh What A Feeling' from Flashdance, with the third verse generally considered optional as it is in contravention of UN laws against racial vilification :rolleyes:, and also in English and Italian, the two main languages of San Verdi, although Verdish and a bizarre dialect of English called Cockney is spoken in parts.

We stand now vigorous and prospering
Forever united by our peoples
Brothers within frontiers are we
Supping upon the bounty of our home.

Strife shall be banished and freedom reign
Our women fertile as our seeping plains
Let not the heroic past be forgotten
But the glorious future stand.

Harmony and peace shall reign
All invaders will be crushed
Crushed we sing now, crushed
We shall drive the gypsy curse from our land.

Ora ci leviamo in piedi vigorosi e prosperando per sempre uniti dai nostri fratelli della gente all'interno delle frontiere siamo suppio lo bene della nostra sede.

La disputa banishé ed il regno di libertà le nostre donne fertili come le nostre pianure filtrantesi lasciano non il passato eroico dimenticato ma il basamento futuro bene.

L'armonia e la pace regno che tutti i nemici saranno schiacciati li hanno schiacciati cantano ora, schiacciato noi guideranno il cursi zingaresco dalla nostra terra.

I'm considering to write a national anthem of my own. Currently, we use the melody of the "Deutschlandlied" (a.k.a. "Deutschland über alles").

Ghargonians don't have music. At all. So no national anthem, either. Which is a shame, 'cause it would be fun to create a totally psychopathic national anthem.

It's funny you ask this question, I was just thinking about that same thing this morning - while reading Jennifer Government! HA!

My song now is in the process of being made, but it's going to be called "Beyond the Heavens". I don't know whether to put it to the tune of the Final Fantasy theme song (the piano piece in the beginning of the game, it's called 'Zanarkand' on the soundtrack), or that really good song by that girl..grr...I forgot her name...Nina Gordon, I think..."Tonight and the Rest of My Life"....anywho...yeah...good question!

Here's mine
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job--
The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

Our Exodus, The final flight
We sought new lands and freedom
We came so far and suffered so dear
We patriots of our martyr, we dragons

Our Exodus, The fiery fight
We found lands so beautiful
We are the chosen of Draconis
We fight and serve so loyally

Our Exodus, The martyred father
We laid him down in a tome of gold
We named him savior
We look to him even now

Our Exodus, Our martyerd land

The EU should adopt Europe's "The Final Countdown" as an anthem immediately. The Euro-pop-cheesiness is above Double-Stilton or Rouchfort on the scale!!

Mmmmh. National anthem. Cool idea... should be in Quenya for Aeruillin probably. I'll get to writing it asap. :)
Bodastan

yep, good idea :)

Bodastans national anthem (lol) :

For Death!
Hail!
For honor!
Hail!

Fear is for the weak,
love is for the weak,
and so are anger,
so is hate...

Discipline and order,
only things that count,
Death will conquer,
we are your servants...

For Death!
Hail!
For Honor!
Hail!

In defferance to our colonial heritage which, after a bloody war for independance, has made the Grand Duchy of Karas a wealthy and diverse nation, the Grand, Esteemed, and Funkadelic Parliament has, at the request of the President for Life Plus Two Weeks's armed thugs, voted unamiously to steal the National Anthem of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.

our country reeks of trees
our yaks are really large
and they smell like rotting beef carcasses
and we have to clean up after them
and our saddle sores are the best
we proudly wear women's clothing
and searing sand blows up our skirts
and the buzzards they soar overhead
and poisonous snakes will devour us whole
our bones will bleach in the sun
and we will probably go to h(bleep)ll
and that is our great reward
for being the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen

Our national anthem is that track composed entirely of silence...cant remember its name, but you can really hear the ambience of that white piano.

Gets the peasants' spirits up.

My national anthem would definantly have to be Drowining Pool: Let the Bodies Hit the Floor!, followed by Disturbed: Down with the Sickness. I'd prefer to put a Ramstein song up for national anthem, maybe the techno remix of Du Hast, but I have no idea what there saying so I wont risk it.

As our country is a republic, we don't have an OFFICIAL national anthem, but there is this, sung by many people of our great land.

Corrales, Our Freedom-Loving Land:

Oh, yes. Yes, that's nice. Oh, wait.
Wait. Just a little softer. Yeah. Yeah.
That's it. Just like that. Ohhh, yeeaaahh.
Wow. You do this better than your sister.
And brother, too. Yes, that's it. Awwww yeah.



You can see why it's not our official national anthem.

Rectopia! Rectopia! We grab our ankles true! Rectopia! Rectopia! We spread our cheeks for you!

You forgot the first verses:

Oh beautifully rounded ones
In shades of white and peach
We'd grab our ankles right away
If we could only reach . . .
