[Phing Phong]

Our Song of the Republic, the official national anthem, was written in antiquity as a folk melody and lyrics were added after independence in 1923.

Our Song of Reconciliation, a common patriotic song, was formed from the national anthem of the former dictatorship and a song written by Goval Hoxai, leader of the Communist Party of Phing Phong.:

We have Strength,
Under Comrade Thaeklaw
Together, the Phasa Daeng State is
Rising to march on!
Long live the Phasa Daeng State!

Together, Phing Phong shall unite
Under the Glorious efforts of
Comrade Thaeklaw!
Because without him, Phing Phong
Will not be the best place to live on Mother Earth!

There's lightning over Mount Chiang
thunderclaps wildly beat.
Let us stop them, brothers,
They'll just disappear,
the Phing Phongese will revive.

That Phing Phong of ours
Has been fast asleep so far.
But the thunder's lightning
is rousing it
to come awake.

[Southern Patriots]

Mary Rhodes (née Bloom) wrote the lyrics for the song some two hundred years ago, during one of the early Nodic Wars.

Lyrics:
Smiling
Standing In Circles
Holding Hands
The World Is A Blur
Except When You're With Me

Standing Tall
Amongst My Peers
A Hope Inside
Running In Our Hearts
Wanting To Burst Out The Shell

Wind In
And The Scent Of Our Land
I Yell And Raise My Hand
With My Fist
Pumping Into The Air
Standing United
For My Nation
Standing United

I Sometimes Fall Down
But I'll Always Stand Up Again.

I Sometimes Fall Down
But I'll Always Stand Up Again.

[Interstellar America]

Francis Scott Key, a lawyer and amateur poet wrote The Defense of Fort McHenry which is better known as The Star Spangled Banner; the latter of which is derived from the former. Written in 1814 during the War of 1812 it was put to music written in 1780 by John Stafford Smith.

Nothing ironic about it really.

[Syvorji]

Our Song of the Republic, the official national anthem, was written in antiquity as a folk melody and lyrics were added after independence in 1923.

Our Song of Reconciliation, a common patriotic song, was formed from the national anthem of the former dictatorship and a song written by Goval Hoxai, leader of the Communist Party of Phing Phong.:

We have Strength,

Long live the Phasa Daeng State!

Together, Phing Phong shall unite

There's lightning over Mount Chiang
thunderclaps wildly beat.
Let us stop them, brothers,
They'll just disappear,
the Phing Phongese will revive.

That Phing Phong of ours
Has been fast asleep so far.
But the thunder's lightning
is rousing it
to come awake.

OOC: Goval Hoxai actually combined the lyrics, while a Syvorjin poet wrote "Lightning over Mount Chiang."

IC: Dear Syvorji, our main anthem was written by a Syvorjin in exile in the early 1970's, and was later adopted as the anthem of a socialist political party. Our other anthem, the Song of Huynma was written many years ago by a Syvorjin, and was adopted many years later. These songs are very popular amongst the Syvorjins, hence why they are anthems.
