Bill: OOC: Fixing the National Anthem
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperial Conservative Union (IA)
Status[?]: passed
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: September 3411
Description[?]:
| I kept wondering why it never fit quite right with the tune. Then realized this was based off the original poem. I propose we match it more with the tune that it goes to than the original poem. I have taken out the original fourth stanza that is usually sang and replaced it with the original fifth stanza from the poem. I think this stanza fits better with our nation than the fourth one did. Also added a link to music. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: When Oalapo first at Heaven's command Arose from out the emerald main This was the charter, The charter of the land, And guardian angels sung this strain: Refrain: Rule Luthori, Luthori rule the waves, Luthori never never never shall be slaves. The nations, not so blest as thee, Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall: While thou shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all. (Refrain) Still more majestic shalt thou rise, More dreadful, from each foreign stroke: As the loud blast that tears the skies, Serves but to root thy native oak. (Refrain) Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame: All their attempts to bend thee down, Will but arouse thy generous flame; But work their woe, and thy renown. (Refrain) To thee belongs the rural reign; Thy cities shall with commerce shine: All thine shall be the subject main, And every shore it circles thine. (Refrain) The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair: Blest land! with matchless beauty crown'd, And manly hearts to guard the fair. (Refrain)

And was the holy Lamb of God On Luthori's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Yishelem 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 chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Yishelem In Luthori's green and pleasant land. |
Proposed:
| When Luthori first at Heaven's command Arose from out the emerald main; Arose, arose, from out the emerald main; This was the charter, The charter of the land, And guardian angels sung this strain: Refrain: Rule Luthori, Luthori rule the waves, Luthori never never never shall be slaves. The nations, not so blest as thee, Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall; Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall: While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all. (Refrain) Still more majestic shalt thou rise, More dreadful, from each foreign stroke; More dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke; As the loud blast, the blast that tears the skies, Serves but to root thy native oak. (Refrain) To thee belongs the rural reign; Thy cities shall with commerce shine; Thy cities shall with commerce shine: All thine shall be, shall be the subject main; And every shore it circles thine. (Refrain) The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair; Shall to thy happy coast repair; O Blest land! With matchless beauty crown'd, And manly hearts to guard the fair.

| Random quote: "Capitalism demands the best of every man- his rationality- and rewards him accordingly. It leaves every man free to choose the work he likes, to specialize in it, to trade his product for the products of others, and to go as far on the road of achievement as his ability and ambition will carry him." - Ayn Rand |
