Duchal Anthem

[Andreas the Wise]

Duchal Anthem

To the tune of "Can you hear the people sing?" from Les Miserables

Chorus: Can you hear the people sing,
Singing the song of Kildarians?
It is the singing of a people who´ll always be Shirithian!
When the scribing of your pen captures the wild envisioning,
then you know it is time for great battles to begin!

Verse 1: Will you join in my crusade
To free the county of gong Li?
From overpowered Dutches, and Blackrock tyranny,
You´ll get in Sakat´s history books its my guarantee!

Verse2: Will you join in writing history
for good and bad alike?
Contrast Shirithian splendour with Apollo power and might?
With Sakat and the sands of time to verify what you write!

Verse 3: Will you join in weaving enchantments
in ANOVA´s young and free?
Ride felines in Kitanus fields and envision Halluci?
Use magic in Kildare to rewrite reality ....

Verse 4: Will you join in fighting enemies
for the strong and warlike Dutch?
Go join the standing army - it doesn´t lose to much.
If you come home alive we´ll even throw in a free crutch!

Note that I threw in a Gong Li verse (because it rhymes with tyranny so well) - that can be dropped from the official one if you want. The other three verses deal with history, magic and war, our three major defining features.

The best tune I found of it was this one. I don't think this can become the Duchal anthem. It's a bit too... against the Dutch.

[Andreas the Wise]

Well, the Gong Li verse wouldn't be in the official anthem (consider it a new Kildarian tradition to write a verse for the anthem whenever something major happens).

I know the war one ends up sounding kinda anti-Dutch but that's because I had great trouble thinking of anything that rhymed with Dutch - you're welcome to re-write that verse and see if you can do it better ...

[Jonas]

I li!ke the idea of that new tradition. You have my permission!!!

Will you join in the economy
To make us all quite rich?
Build mines and get resources, and try experiments?
Apparently paying for Dukedom with gold is a sinch ....

Open to change, but one needed to be written.

Note to self: ~put this in the library~

[Austi_Scot]

It's available in my country. I like it.

[Jonas]

I'm glad you like it, but it's not available in my country... and that's the problem!

[Andreas the Wise]

Did this one quickly too, for fun. Only recorded it once so it's probably not that good, but being a faster song, it's easier to sing.

[Jonas]

Not bad. Not bad at all for doing it quickly.
