Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Kafuristan, our new free land It shines just like a martyr's stand, And as we reach our voted dreams We'll come with aid for all who scream. We'll hold our fertile fields with praise Respect the determined men who stay, As foreign powers waste and rot To be defeated we shall not! Through troubled times and aches of sort We'll gather strength from our great courts, The time for justice comes for all Fear not if it's your surname called. All of ours have chance to say "It's not your decision anyway," As our free people will choose their fate For democracy we'll celebrate!
Current:
| It has been a long time oh my weapon! I long for you in my struggle! Speak and say I am awake, Oh war it has been a long time. It has been a long time for the soldiers, Advancing with thunderous roar, Swearing never to return, Except with epoch-making victory. Rise and close ranks, With lives ready for sacrifice. O! the horror that the enemy shall suffer, From you in the fire of the battlefield. O! glory our glory, You who was built by us, By toil and pain, Never to go to waste. Who shall protect Free Kafuristan? We shall protect her with our weapons. Land of the Revolution, who will sacrifice for her sake? We will, with our souls. The people advance like the light, The people stand like mountains and seas, Volcanoes of anger, volcanoes erupting, Earthquakes digging the enemy into their graves. |
Proposed:
| This land is your land, this land is my land From Tordara, to the Kuchifey coast From the Keletia coastline, to the Hiamou border, This land was made for you and me As I was walking a ribbon of highway I saw above me an endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley This land was made for you and me Chorus I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me Chorus The sun comes shining as I was strolling The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling The fog was lifting a voice come chanting This land was made for you and me Chorus As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there And that sign said - no tress passin' But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me! Chorus In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me. |
