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:
| Rose of Mordusia Luthorian: Rose of Mordusia When will we see You flower again? To honour those that died for Their freedom and fellow men, And stood against them The proud Luthori army, And sent them home To think again. Canrillaise: Rose d'Mordusia Quand reverrons-nous Tu refleuris? Pour honorer ceux qui sont morts pour Leur liberté et leur semblables, Et s'est dressé contre eux L'armée du fier Luthori, Et les a renvoyés chez eux Pour réfléchir à nouveau. |

My mama told me when I was hatched Act like a Mordusian Save your allowance, buy some strange clothes And someday you will go far Now on red carpets, well, we’re hard to miss The press follows everywhere Mordusians go We'll poke your eye out with a soccer ball like this Back off and enjoy the show! I'm sure the other countries will say it's an eccentric display Well, they can bite us, baby – We perform this way We might be wearin' Swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees It doesn't we’re crazy – We are a separate country Ooo, the government pays... lots 'for the best railways Baby, we’re a separate country Ooo, don't worry, It’s okay... hey, we have better pathways To un-iver-sity, We’re a great country We’ll become Docs or Talk Show Hosts Or a mailman that sends you post 'Cause we don’t have to eat toast Today... We’re completely original Our health care is all the rage The government will have a big huge cheque To make sure people have a decent wage We’ll wear porcupines on our heads To demonstrate our difference And for no reason we can talk in French Excusez-moi, Qui a pété? (Who cut the cheese?) Got my straight jacket today, it's made of gold chains No, not because We’re crazy – We’re a great country We have plenty of funds, we can explore a moon or the Sun I'll bet you've never seen a country explore this way Don't be judging when you see Our latest government policy We’re strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre We can be lawyers, Or movie starvs There's nothing too embarrassing We'll honestly do anything But outlaw croquet 'Cause baby, We’re a great country We get millions of pay if we sell nuclear decay Don't call the cops now, baby, We’re a modern country No reason we should regret all the progress we get We're not completely crazy, We’re a modern country, yeah We’re a great country-hey, We develop this way-hey We always celebrate our president from October to May -hey We’re a great country-hey, We’re a modern country-hey We’re really not insane – We’re just a great country-hey |
