Current:
| Skjöld: Ég tilheyri þér, Í hjarta eru þínir. Hvar Tælmensku dætur blómstra, Hvar Tælmensku synir syngja, Leyfðu okkur að dansa hamingjusamlega, Í okkar Tælmörk! Og þetta er að fallega lands, Við Tælmensku land, heimili mitt, Við Tælmensku land, heimili mitt. Ekki gráta kæru móður Tælmörk, Hækka höfuðið stoltur hár, Tælmörk er frjáls Frjáls til að lifa! Land fjöll, land með straum. Land fields, land hinna frjálsu. Fjallið, vale – fara hvert sem hann vildi, Sorg og sorg öll sömu – Undir sjó af blóði, Á meðan yfir sjó á flame. Þú ert uppi á minningar frábær gamla daga, Þegar heiður að því þegar nafn þitt flaug yfir Terra, Ég veit að þú ert og mun eftir það sem þú varst. Luthorian: I belong to you In my heart is yours. Where Telamonic daughters bloom, Where Telamonic sons sing, let us dance happily, In our Telamon! And this is to a beautiful country, By Telamon land, my home, By Telamon land, my home. Don't cry dear mother Telamon, Raise your head proud high, Telamon is free Free to live! Country mountains, country with a stream. Land fields, land of the free. The mountain, vale – go wherever he wanted, Sorrow and sorrow all the same – Under a sea of blood, Meanwhile over sea on flame. You are reminiscing about the great old days, Already honored when your name flew over Terra, I know you are and will remember what you were. |
Proposed:
| And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon Telamons mountains green? And was the holy lamb of god On Telamons pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold! Bring me my chariots of fire! I will not cease from metal fight; Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built jerusalem In Telamons green and pleasant land. |

| Message | 1) It is a real song("Jerusalem",B. Dickinson). 2) It is bad as anthem. (in example, word "satanic" in the anthem sounds very-very modern) |
| Date | 16:35:14, August 13, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the National anthem |
| Message | Not a good anthem, mentions religion and sounds far too violent. No. |
| Date | 20:21:09, August 13, 2005 CET | From | Conservative Party of Telamon | To | Debating the National anthem |
| Message | It does not mention religion...it mentions Jerusalem. I do not hear it promoting religion anywhere in the song. Regardless which no. |
| Date | 04:59:23, August 14, 2005 CET | From | Progressive Marxist Party | To | Debating the National anthem |
| Message | Yes but Jerusalem is the holy city of various religions and it is an implied connection to any Abrahamic religion. Mentioning Jerusalem as a paradise is an obvious support of Abrahamic religions. |
| Date | 22:56:40, August 14, 2005 CET | From |  Federation Under Crazy Killers -- United | To | Debating the National anthem |
| Message | It also says god in it. |
