Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: O noble So-len-ti-a Your faces shining brightly Look forward to the future Move forward for the union In times of dark and terror Our nation stood and triumphed With passion and with yearning Look forward to the future O noble Solentia Your faces shining brightly Look forward to the future Move forward for the union From darkest roots to freedom From dirt there springs a flower Ever in the light of love 'Til ending's coming hour O noble Solentia Your faces shining brightly Look forward to the future Move forward for the union
Current:
| Citadel of the valiant, Solentia the bold Where loyalty blooms and heroes of old Rise now, break the chains that bind Blaze a trail with faith entwined Your banner flies high, lighting the way March onward united come what may Lift voices together, let freedom ring Of unity and justice your anthems sing Torch burning bright, lead out of the night Guide all who yearn for the dawn's first light With law and vision, progress shall bloom O Solentia, your finest hour soon comes |
Proposed:
| You're simply the best, better than all the rest Better than any country any country I've ever seen I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every word your senate says Tear us apart, baby I would rather be dead Solentia is simply, simply, simply the best! |
