Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Mordus with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Terra's joys grow dim; its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy folk, Mordus, Familiar, condescending, patient, free. Come not to sojourn, but abide with me. Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea. Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee. On to the close, O Mordus, abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Mordus, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Hold Thou Thy flag before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, and Terra's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Mordus, abide with me.
Current:
| The Red Rose of Mordusia Verse 1: Rose of Mordusia, red and bold you bloom, Underneath the Southern Cross, where skies of azure loom. From desert wide to coastal tide, your golden branches sway, Through sun and storm, we stand as one, and light the world with day. Chorus: Rose of Mordusia, standing ever free, From the Outback to the sea, we'll guard our liberty. In heart and hand, we love this land, as far as skies are blue, Rose of Mordusia, we pledge our strength to you. Verse 2: From distant shores we gathered, in unity we came, To build a land of promise bright, and raise Mordusia's name. With every stride, we're side by side, in peace we make our way, Mordusia’s rose forever strong, through every dawning day. Verse 3: From Luthori’s Rose we once took root, beneath the southern skies, Through years of growth, we found our way, and saw our nation rise. Though bound by blood, we blossom free, two nations proud and strong, One white, one red and both in bloom, together we belong |
Proposed:
| From the white coast of Sammodra To the green fields of Hosamia To the deep blue lakes of Talasor We fight for fairness and freedom Arise ye brothers and sisters For Mordusia we will fight Take back the land that was once yours For the flag of the red and white! From the rolling hills of Sayoon To the great plains of Adubura From the city walls of Rechtenburg This is our Republic! Arise ye brothers and sisters For Mordusia we will fight Take back the flag that was once yours For the land of the free and right! |
