Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: The Internationale Arise ye workers from your slumbers Arise ye prisoners of want For reason in revolt now thunders And at last ends the age of cant. Away with all your superstitions Servile masses arise, arise We'll change henceforth the old tradition And spurn the dust to win the prize. CHORUS: So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. No more deluded by reaction On tyrants only we'll make war The soldiers too will take strike action They'll break ranks and fight no more And if those cannibals keep trying To sacrifice us to their pride They soon shall hear the bullets flying We'll shoot the generals on our own side. CHORUS No saviour from on high delivers No faith have we in prince or peer Our own right hand the chains must shiver Chains of hatred, greed and fear E'er the thieves will out with their booty And give to all a happier lot. Each at the forge must do their duty And we'll strike while the iron is hot. CHORUS
Current:
| Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ_zW_PgWeA Luthorian: Great hymns travel through the planet, old flags burn, your crypt has opened, rise quickly, oppressed Reason! Lead us into battle, we shall destroy all and on the ruins of nations will the World Federation flourish! (Alexandric hexameters in the original Syldavian.) Leading the raging uneducated brights in yellow the dirt-teeth of the monster rotting our existence: nation! you mind-nitty delusion of lunacies, history woke you with fire: with fire you shall fall back into the dust! Lead us into battle, oppressed Reason, and on the ruins of nations will the World Federation flourish! Syldavian: Nagyszerű himnuszok kÃsértenek, égnek a régi zászlók, felnyÃlt a koporsód, megalázott Ésszerűség! Vezess a csatába minket, pusztÃtsunk el mindent, s a nemzetek romjain fog majd virágozni a Világszövetség! Koszfoga felsárgállik a bÅ‘sz tanulatlanok élén emberi létünk megnyomorÃtó szörnyetegének: nemzet!, te agytetves tévképzete elmebajoknak, tűzzel hányt az idÅ‘, majd tűzzel is éget a porba! Vezess a csatába minket, megalázott Ésszerűség, s a nemzetek romjain fog majd virágozni a Világszövetség! |
Proposed:
| Nine Inch Nails- the hand that feeds ----------------------------------------- you're keeping in step in the line got your chin held high and you feel just fine because you do what you're told but inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold just how deep do you believe? will you bite the hand that feeds? will you chew until it bleeds? can you get up off your knees? are you brave enough to see? do you want to change it? what if this whole crusade's a charade and behind it all there's a price to be paid for the blood on which we dine justified in the name of the holy and the divine just how deep do you believe? will you bite the hand that feeds? will you chew until it bleeds? can you get up off your knees? are you brave enough to see? do you want to change it? so naïve to keep holding on to what I want to believe i can see but i keep holding on and on and on and on will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees? |
