Bill: The Anthem Act of 2158

Details

Submitted by[?]: Hammerian Capitalist Party

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: January 2160

Description[?]:

The Alorian National Anthem is horribly formatted, with no rhythm and awful wording.
Example:
"Chosen We Freedom"

(Out-of-character: It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.)

MessageLast Night I Had the Strangest Dream

Last night I had the strangest dream
I've ever dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
filled with women and men.
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again.

And when the paper was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed.

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round,
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground.

Last night I had the strangest dream
I've ever dreamed before.
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

MessageActually, I added onto, and changed the last version (Posted above). Additions and changes are welcome:

Once a king dreamt a very strange dream
stranger than he'd ever dreamt before.
he dreamt the world had all agreed
to put an end to war.

He dreamt he saw a mighty room
filled with women and men.
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again.

And when the paper was all signed,
And a million copies made,
They all joined hands and bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed.

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round,
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground.

When the king woke up
he called out and cried
"End the war! Enough! Enough!
It's time to stop, too many have died!"

Once a king had the strangest dream
He'd ever dreamt before.
He dreamt the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

MessageWhich is why we probably should just improve the existing rather than rewriting it.

ToDebating the The Anthem Act of 2158
MessageImproved punctuation, making it rhyme, adding a verse:


Freedom in Aloria

Instead of tyrany and darkness,
We choose freedom and peacefulness.
Liberty prevails in that path,
The road with the freedom we hath.

Freedom Aloria!
Onward, Freedom in Aloria!

Let there be good in our state,
As we keep freedom and end hate.
From Kurmal mountains to Sildar Beach,
We are free in our actions and speech.

Freedom Aloria!
Onward, Freedom in Aloria!

In Aloria the nation of great,
No one is ever irate.
Freedom and equality for all,
Whether short or tall.

Freedom Aloria!
Onward, Freedom in Aloria!


Suggestions?

Message"hath" is not at all the correct conjugation of "to have".

In Aloria the nation of great,
All are free and all elate,
For there's equality and love for all,
Be they skinny or fat, short or tall.

MessageIf everyone likes this version enough, HCP will probably update the bill with it and then put it up to vote. It thus clears the debate list *and* gives us a better national anthem.


Freedom In Aloria

Instead of tyrany and darkness,
We choose freedom and peacefulness.
Liberty prevails in that path of ours,
The road with the freedom where evil cowers.

Freedom Aloria!
Onward, Freedom in Aloria!

Let there be good in our state,
As we keep freedom and end hate.
From Kurmal mountains to Sildar Beach,
We are free in our actions and speech.

Freedom Aloria!
Onward, Freedom in Aloria!

In Aloria the nation of great,
All are free and all elate,
For there's equality and love for all,
Be they skinny or fat, short or tall.

Freedom Aloria!
Onward, Freedom in Aloria!

MessageAn alternative for line 4 would be:

The road with the freedom, not dour.

Or something else. That's probably the one weak line left in the anthem.
