Old value:: None
Current:
Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ_zW_PgWeA Luthorian: Great hymns travel through the planet, old flags burn, your crypt has opened, rise quickly, oppressed Reason! Lead us into battle, we shall destroy all and on the ruins of nations will the World Federation flourish! (Alexandric hexameters in the original Syldavian.) Leading the raging uneducated brights in yellow the dirt-teeth of the monster rotting our existence: nation! you mind-nitty delusion of lunacies, history woke you with fire: with fire you shall fall back into the dust! Lead us into battle, oppressed Reason, and on the ruins of nations will the World Federation flourish! Syldavian: Nagyszerű himnuszok kísértenek, égnek a régi zászlók, felnyílt a koporsód, megalázott Ésszerűség! Vezess a csatába minket, pusztítsunk el mindent, s a nemzetek romjain fog majd virágozni a Világszövetség! Koszfoga felsárgállik a bősz tanulatlanok élén emberi létünk megnyomorító szörnyetegének: nemzet!, te agytetves tévképzete elmebajoknak, tűzzel hányt az idő, majd tűzzel is éget a porba! Vezess a csatába minket, megalázott Ésszerűség, s a nemzetek romjain fog majd virágozni a Világszövetség! |
Proposed:
The Internationale Arise ye workers from your slumbers Arise ye prisoners of want For reason in revolt now thunders And at last ends the age of cant. Away with all your superstitions Servile masses arise, arise We'll change henceforth the old tradition And spurn the dust to win the prize. CHORUS: So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. So comrades, come rally And the last fight let us face The Internationale unites the human race. No more deluded by reaction On tyrants only we'll make war The soldiers too will take strike action They'll break ranks and fight no more And if those cannibals keep trying To sacrifice us to their pride They soon shall hear the bullets flying We'll shoot the generals on our own side. CHORUS No saviour from on high delivers No faith have we in prince or peer Our own right hand the chains must shiver Chains of hatred, greed and fear E'er the thieves will out with their booty And give to all a happier lot. Each at the forge must do their duty And we'll strike while the iron is hot. CHORUS |

Message | How about 'Let The Bodies Hit The Floor' by Drowning Pool or 'All Guns Blazing' by Judas Priest? *laughs*. This isn't all that bad and if my recollection serves me correctly, wasn't this the national anthem of the USSR? Ah, walks down memory lane. Good ol' Stalin. |

Message | The Internationale originates from the Paris Commune of 1871 and has been used since then as the anthem for various leftist parties and movements. It is correct that until 1944 it was used as the anthem of the USSR until it was abolished by Stalin and replaced with another anthem which is still used in Russia today. |

Message | I think our national anthem should be seperate from the politics of the country. |
