Old value:: Marlonus Rex, unser König und Herr, der rief seine Soldaten allesamt ins Gewehr, zweihundert Bataillone und an die tausend Schwadronen, und jeder Grenadier kriegt sechzig Patronen.»Ihr verfluchten Kerls«, sprach Seine Majestät, »daß jeder in der Bataille seinen Mann mir steht, sie gönnen mir nicht Darnussien und die Dundorf'schen Länder und die hundert Millionen in meinem Schatz.Der Dorve hat sich mit dem Istalier alliert, und das Reich gegen mich revoltiert, die Malivier sind gefallen in Narikaton ein, auf, laßt uns zeigen, daß wir brave Landeskinder sein.Meine Generale Shukanov und Feldmarschall von Schacht und der Generalmajor von Dönitz sind allemal bereit. Kotz Mohren, Blitz und Kreuzelement, wer den Marlon und seine Soldaten noch nicht kennt. «»Nun adje Luise, wisch ab das Gesicht, eine jede Kugel, die trifft ja nicht, denn träf' jede Kugel apart ihren Mann, wo kriegten die Könige ihre Soldaten dann! Die Musketenkugel macht ein kleines Loch, die Kanonenkugel ein weit größ'res noch; die Kugeln sind alle von Eisen und Blei, und manche Kugel geht manchem vorbei.Unsre Artillerie hat ein vortrefflich Kaliber, und von den Nariks geht keiner zum Feinde über, die Jakanier, die haben verflucht schlechtes Geld, wer weiß, ob der Hulstreicher besseres hält. Mit Pomade bezahlt den Dorver sein König, wir kriegen's alle Woche bei Heller und Pfennig. Kotz Mohren, Blitz und Kreuzsackerment, wer kriegt so prompt wie der Narik sein Traktament. Cedrik, mein König, den der Lorbeerkranz ziert, ach, hätt'st du nur öfters zu plündern permittiert, Malonus Rex, mein König und Held, wir schlügen den Teufel für dich aus der Welt.«

| Wacht auf, verdammte dieser Erde, die stets man noch zum Hungern zwingt! Das Recht wie Glut im Kraterherde nun mit Macht zum Durchbruch dringt. Reinen Tisch macht mit dem Bedränger! Heer der Sklaven, wache auf! Ein Nichts zu sein, tragt es nicht länger, alles zu werden, störmt zuhauf. Es rettet uns kein hö´hres Wesen, kein Gott, kein Kaiser, noch Tribun. Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen, können wir nur selber tun! Leeres Wort: des Armen Rechte! Leeres Wort: des Reichen Pflicht! Unmündig nennt man uns und Knechte, duldet die Schmach nun länger nicht! In Stadt und Land, ihr Arbeitsleute, wir sind die stärkste der Partei´n. Die Müßiggänger schiebt beiseite! Diese Welt wird unser sein; unser Blut sei nicht mehr der Raben und der nächt´gen Geier Fraß! Erst wenn wir sie vertrieben haben, dan scheint die Sonn‘ ohn‘ Unterlaß. Völker, hört die Signale! Auf, zum letzten Gefecht! Die Internationale erkämpft das Menschenrecht! Völker, hört die Signale! Auf, zum letzten Gefecht! Die Internationale erkämpft das Menschenrecht |

| Message | Delegates! If the Sozialistiche Einheitspartei is to be banned by the oppressors via their own illegal means, then let this bill be our last stand! The current government is not the representative of the people. Rise up against your oppressors, not by force, but by the sheer will of fighting for a better Darnussien. To all my fellow citizens of this great nation, though we might die today, the SEP's efforts to fight for the socialist paradise shall live on tomorrow. |
