Bill: National Anthem Lyrics Proposal of 4640
Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic-Social Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 4641
Description[?]:
| After a long discussion with historians, Human Rights experts and representatives across all sectors in our society, it has been determined that our current national anthem, once proposed by a right-wing, conservative party, violates several Constitucional rights like equality and dignity because it romanticizes and enhances slavery. For this reason, we, the Democratic Liberal Party decide to propose a new anthem, composed by three of our finest musicians, that really captures the essence and spirit of our nation. |
Proposals

Old value:: Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton Old times there are not forgotten Look away! Look away! Look away! Lixie Land In Lixie Land where I was born Early on one frosty morn' Look away! Look away! Look away! Lixie Land I wish I was in Lixie, Hooray! Hooray! In Lixie Land, I'll take my stand To live and die in Lixie Away, away, away up north in Lixie Away, away, away up north in Lixie Away, away, away up north in Lixie
Current:
| "Beneath the Likatonian Skies" In the heart of every Likatonian soul, Lies the spirit of freedom, brave and bold. From the Luthori shores to Likatonia's land, We carved our destiny with our own hands. Beneath the Likatonian skies, so vast and wide, Together we stand, with pride side by side. From East Bolton's gold to the fields of green, In every heart, the Likatonian dream is seen. Through the trials of revolution's fiery night, We sought our liberty, our sacred right. In unity, our voices rose as one, Under the banner of freedom, we were never undone. From the Native Likatonian's ancient song, To the settlers' hopes, enduring and strong. In every corner of this land we roam, Likatonia, forever our home. In the east, where the wild frontiers call, To the western lands, where the mighty rivers fall. Our nation's story, a tapestry so grand, Woven by every woman, child, and man. Arise, Likatonians, in unity and might, For our land, for our freedom, for our right. Under the Likatonian skies, we pledge our love so true, To our beloved land, red, white, and blue. |
Proposed:
| For Likatonia, ever Likatonia, let our voices ring with pride For Likatonia, ever Likatonia, her name hail far and wide, A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure what ever befall May God bless Likatonia Forever more! Bless, oh Creator, This island of our ancestors To live in peace and joy. Take from us the most credential oaths, we won't let you down, Likatonia We will never be enchained again. Adored Land Amongst a thousand others Are you, Likatonia, Oh, beloved homeland! With God I shall fight for home and for hearth, For Likatonia, the beloved native soil. It is a sanctuary of love that every character Of the fatherland feels alive! A prince am I undaunted, Of glory, ever free, To the king of Likatonia I've granted A lifelong loyalty. |
