Article 2
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: St. Muron's Prayer: Eternal Muron, land of ours, We pledge ourselves to thy command, With reason and love in unity, We forge our path to destiny. So God of Light and Lord of Grace, Protect our land from devilish perils! O Lord of light and hill and plain, O'er which our traffic runs amain By mountain pass or valley low; Wherever, Lord, thy brethren go, Protect them by thy guarding hand From perils in cursèd lands. Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult end, And give, for wild confusion, peace; For those who have yet your light to see, Live in the terror which you shall cease. O Mighty Lord, Strong and proud, Who sent his son so light may abound, Who sacrificed his blood, his life, So we may forever know, The Grace which raised us from the soil, In your name we thus toil. Promise of the Othals: Hail! Sons, of a race whose blood was shed; On Tarkut's fields, Davoya's sand; Kivonia, Daurin and Qorqal; Not yet is Davostan's manhood dead! With foemen's blood a field may still be tinted red! All, Rest! Peace, Away! Begone! The tempest loosens; lightnings flash; and o'er the field the cannon roar Rank upon rank, march on, men, march on! The spirit of each father brave looks on as brave a son. No nobler aim could light us to the field; Our swords flame, nor new our blood to yield, Forward! Forward! Each man, brave and bold! Lo! the glorious path of Freedom, centuries old! Gleam high! Thou banner Victory-sealed! In the grey bygone days, long since dead, Be still our splendid colours, though tattered, onward borne! Of the Othal's ancient Standard there's yet a shred untorn! Thus a promise born, in blood and valor, against the greatest enemy: Fear not, the Othal's strength shall soon be reborn! And we shall exile you with the greatest scorn!
Current:
| Dovrigemarschen (March of Davostag) 𝗕𝗲𝗳ä𝘀𝗸𝗮𝗿- Tågom fram uti striden för fädernesland Mot förtryckarens våldsamma härjande hand. Och mot dovgerska folk ännu frihet skall le, Ty åt oss Himlen seger skall ge. Tågom fram för vårt land att med geväret i hand Ifrån fjällar och strand lossa träldomens band, Att med geväret i hand lossa träldomens band. Tågom fram för vårt fädernesland! 𝗦𝗸𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗲- Træn frem i kampen om fædreland Mod undertrykkerens voldsomme hærgende hånd. Og mod dovgerske mennesker vil stadig frihed smile, For os skal Himlen give sejr. Træn fremad for vores land med gevær i hånden Fra bjerge og kyster løse bånd af trældom, At løsne trældomsbåndene med geværet i hånden. Træn fremad for vores fædreland! 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻- March forward in the battle for the fatherland Against the violent ravaging hand of the oppressor. And against Davostagian people still freedom will smile, For to us Heaven shall give victory. March forward for our country with rifle in hand From mountains and shore loose bonds of bondage, To loosen the bonds of servitude with the rifle in hand. March forward for our fatherland!

| Message | OOC: That's alright... I was planning on this bill failing... The bill was perfectly designed... If it passes, great, and if it doesn't, still great... I needed a boost in visibility... But thanks for the idea of a compromise, I'll keep that in mind in the future... Most parties that come to Davostag simply hate the SRP and the Unholy Davostag Empire too much to ever support any of my bills regardless of what it is... I.D.R. |
