In case anyone feels patriotic, here's a couple of Dara Happan anthems I knocked off earlier. I hope to have a singalong at the Con, either to liven up the Broken Council or as part of MOB's Lunar Toons seminar (the Dara Happan units of the Heartlands still preserve their old traditions). My fellow Pelorians are warmly urged to join in, though we will of course accept our rightful recognition even from the most outlandish foreigners.
Land of Dara Happa Empire of the Sun How shall we extoll thee Who are ruled by One? Wider still and wider Shall thy bounds be set. Yelm, who made thee mighty Make thee mightier yet!
(Tune: "Land of Hope and Glory")
And did those feet in ancient time Walk on Peloria's mountains green? And was the holy son of Yelm In Oslir's pleasant pastures seen? And did the face of Murharzarm Shine forth upon our crowded lands? And was Deipolis builded here Where Raibanth's mighty city stands? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I shall not cease from mental fight; Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Deipolis In Dara Happa's pleasant land.
(Tune: "Jerusalem")
"Deipolis" is sung as four syllables: day-IH-poh-lis
Oh: I realise you may not know these popular English tunes in the States, in which case you're in for a treat! (And they say Trolls are musical...)
