| Message | I think we are going to find it quite hard to agree on lyrics - maybe we should stick to tune only? If you could find out the name of that piece of music... |

| Message | We'll need lyrics. There must be some way to make non-partisan lyrics that don't sound mocking. I have members of my party working on crafting an all-purpose, inspiring, nationalistic song that doesn't show favor to an ideology. So far there's been little progress, but it's a worthwhile endeavor. OOC: I actually am working on that. I've written songs in the past, so this is an interesting exercise. And I temporarily have a lot of free time, too, so there's no reason not to. |

| Message | Ride of Valkyries is pretty good. It's powerful and not mocking. It does get your attention though. |

| Message | OOC: I give up on the songwriting project. Five drafts later - and they all sound like comedies. I'm only good at amusing lyrics and tragic ones. |

| Message | oh at please one! if it isnt appropriate at least we can have a laugh - or a go at improving it. |

| Message | well, I thought i would have a go too. I see what you mean, it is really hard to stop it sounding like a parody of itself, there are so many cliches. in the end i decided just to use that to my advantage, and go with it, so the result is more or less just one huge cliche - but i am going to post it to motivate you all to come up with something better. Likatonia our nation, Our mountains, seas and sands, Our honour and our values, Our hopes and hearts and hands. Likatonia our guardian, Our parent and our guide, Our refuge when in times of need, Which shelters us with pride. Likatonia our people, Courageous, strong and just, Likatonia our freedom, In whose laws we trust. Likatonia our history, Tradition handed on, Our culture and our forbears’ Since memory began. Likatonia our future, Our children’s and our own, Long may it continue, Our nation and our home. Your turn! |

| Message | ok, ok, i take it back. I just get images of all the strange, axe wielding, incestuous, tolkienesque vikings that the whole ring cycle brings to mind... I didnt think it was that great a national image. But i have a friend who is a huge fan of the music, so there must be something good in it. I must just learn to dissociate. |

| Message | All in favour of the lyrics proposed by LPE? |

| Message | :-p just dont ask me to write the tune. Please other people come up with some, then we can have a choice. Personally I think they're kinda cheesy, but if you like them. |
| Date | 23:04:20, June 13, 2005 CET | From | National Centrist Party | To | Debating the National Anthem |
| Message | Eh, it works for me. The tune I put it to mentally makes it hoky, but then again, I'm not writing the tune. Thankfully. |
