Why should the Heortlings OR the Lunars get all the good songs?

As the entirely unofficial champion of all things Malkioni, I present the first ever almost-entirely-stolen-from-a-real-world-song Loskalmi hymn (with apologies to Cecil Spring-Rice). Huzzah!

I vow to thee, oh Loskalm, all worldly things above sublime and pure and perfect, the service of my love; the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, that asks us to lay aside our fear and selfishness; the love that never falters, the love that pays the price, the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; we may not count her armies, we may not see her King; her fortress is a faithful heart, her truth is redeeming; and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, and her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

[Tune: I Vow to Thee, My Country]

      I have a MIDI file of the tune, which I could post to the files section if there's sufficient demand. Much longer, similarly plagiarised, hymn to follow once I've got it worked out ;-)
