Bill: Gov.0075.2686
Details
Submitted by[?]: 帝国公明党 (Teikoku Kōmeitō)
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2686
Description[?]:
| As the primary parties blocking this are gone we feel it is time to bring this to vote once again. We believe this should be done for the following reasons; -The current anthem is ephemeral and has little to do with Sekowo. -The city of Carcosa no longer exists. -It is the last remnant of the Aretic age and while not supporting any of the tenants of Aretism itself is still a symbol of that terrible part of our history. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Along the shore the cloud waves break The twin suns sink beneath the lake The shadow lengthen In Carcosa Strange is the night where black stars rise And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is Lost Carcosa Songs that the Hyades shall sing Where flap the tatters of the King Must die unsung in Dim Carcosa Song of my soul, my voice is dead Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa
Current:
(Kunikata): 海ゆかば 水漬く屍 山ゆかば 草生す屍 帝の 辺にこそ死なめ 返り見はせじ (Sekowan): 海ゆかば 水漬ちゅる屍 山いかー 草生する屍 帝ぬ 辺んかいどぅ死なめい けーいんーじぇーさじ (Luthorian): If I go far away to the sea I shall leave my bones there If I go far away to the mountains I shall leave my bones there Without one regret I shall sacrifice for His Majesty And for my fatherland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfBebI2oFp4) |
Proposed:
| Formerly, at her call, our ancestors, knew how to engage in mighty battles, with strength, courage, honour, and ardour, but paying the price with blood. Children of Sekowo, arise! The resounding cry of freedom is heard at the first light of every dawn. Children of Sekowo, arise! When all around blow winds of anger and hate: Sekowo stands strong, calm and ever ready, trusting in the shared future of all. Great Sekowo, your snowcapped mountains, green forests and blue waters, Show the world your brightness; Your soil offers the richest fruits. Sekowo, from henceforth your children are united, With one fraternal spirit sharing the hope of the future. |
