Description[?]:
The old one is short and off beat. A-/-/-/-/-/ B-/-/-/-/ A-/-/-/-/-/ B-/-/-/ The Light from the Sun is gleaming and clear The fire in homeland does gleam But evil does threaten in perilous fear The State is all to me! The dangers of freedom are deadly indeed The wolf prowls the meadows with glee But somewhere our unity plants the seed The State is all to me! The calm sparkling Rivers traverse the dawn The terrible twilight not seen But we grow our great strength in peace and calm The State is all to me! The ruinous plague has withered and died The soft clover petals so green But never again will evil arise The State is all to me! The delicate embers gently alight The soft summer breezes do sway But “action,” a voice roars, “is better than none” “The State is all to me!” Where were the liberals when terror was true, Where were you, Heaven, when there were prayers for you? For only our Homeland can show us the way, Only the true path is held without sway! The gray wolf is slaughtered and no one can hear, For the selfish and bold will never be feared! Let all of your actions be for the state, Let all of your thoughts be the name of “Fate!” And never again will freedom corrupt us, We stronger than might and more maddened than furious! Open the threshold and prove the world That unity is better when grandeur is unfurled! O Homeland O Homeland The gateway is thee! Our million-eyed Father is splendid indeed! And nothing is greater Or more worthy to know, The State is all to me! |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Strong and peaceful; wise and brave: Fighting the fight for the whole the world to save; We the people will ceaselessly strive To keep our great revolution alive! Unfurl the banners, look at the screen! Never before has such glory been seen. Solentia, Solentia, Solentia: 'tis for thee. Every deed; every thought: 'tis for thee. Every deed; every thought: 'tis for thee. Every deed; every thought: 'tis for thee.
Current:
Citadel of the valiant, Solentia the bold Where loyalty blooms and heroes of old Rise now, break the chains that bind Blaze a trail with faith entwined Your banner flies high, lighting the way March onward united come what may Lift voices together, let freedom ring Of unity and justice your anthems sing Torch burning bright, lead out of the night Guide all who yearn for the dawn's first light With law and vision, progress shall bloom O Solentia, your finest hour soon comes |
