Old value:: A lovely land is ours A lovely land is ours With beeches green about her Encircled by the sea Her hills and vales are manifold Her name, of old, is Beluzia And she is our home In days of long-ago This land was home to heroes From war they rested here Then forth they went, to smite the foe Now to their graves they've gone Among the barrow-stones This land is yet so fair Her waters yet so blue And green are still her leaves And noble ladies, maidens fair, And men and able lads Still dwell on Beluzian soil Hail Beluzia, hail Bailon! Hail every Dane who labours To do his very best Our ancient Beluzia shall abide, While yet the waves reflect The beeches in their blue.
Current:
| Land of the Free by the people, We pledge to thy liberty! No tyrants here linger, despots must flee. This tranquil haven of democracy, the blood of our sires which hallows the sod, brought freedom from slavery and oppressionists. By the might of truth, no longer shall we be hewers of wood. Arise! Sons, daughters of the united and democratic ancestors, put on your armor, clear the land! Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee -Land of the Free by the people! Nature has blessed us with wealth untold. Our mountains and valleys where prairies roll; our fathers, mothers, valiant and bold drove back the invader- those of tyranny. |
Proposed:
| (To the tune of beethovens 9th) Joy, o wondrous spark divine, Daughter of Elysium, Drunk with fire now we enter, Heavenly one, your holy shrine. Your magic powers join again what fashion strictly did divide; Brotherhood unites all men Where your gentle wing's spread wide. The man who's been so fortunate To become the friend of a friend, The man who has won a fair woman - To the rejoicing let him add his voice. The man who calls but a single soul Somewhere in the world his own! And he who never managed this - Let him steal forth from our throng! Joy is drunk by every creature From Nature's fair and charming breast; Every being, good or evil, Follows in her rosy steps. Kisses she gave to us, and vines, And one good friend, tried in death; The serpent she endowed with base desire And the cherub stands before God. Gladly as His suns do fly Through the heavens' splendid plan, Run now, brothers, your own course, Joyful like a conquering hero Embrace each other now, you millions! The kiss is for the whole wide world! Brothers - over the starry firmament A beloved Father must surely dwell. Do you come crashing down, you millions? Do you sense the Creators presence, world? Seek Him above the starry firmament, For above the stars he surely dwells. |

| Message | Grand Emperor of Terra? -Hakam Elfrink, the Imams and Elfrinkmen all laugh- Has Zog gotten so drunk with power from his own Bailonese liquor? I may not see eye to eye with the Tories, but if they are smart, they will not let the logically and spiritually comatose Zog take power. |
