Fanfic challange (sort of): Write the Imperial Anthem

Oddity · Post by **Oddity** » 2004-07-14 08:49am

What the title says. To the best of my knowledge the Empire has no national anthem, and I've never heard of any fans trying to write one. That needs to be corrected, I think.

Ohh saaay can you see by the deathstars early beam. What so proudly we hailed has been blown to smithereeens. *Insert slow transition over to tune of imperial march with equally stupid lyrics overlayed*.

Challenge, fail.

Is there any point to this thread at this juncture other than really unfunny lyrics?

Hail to the Empire!

Hail to the Empire, Galactic Unity,
Glory to Palpatine's new way,
Hail to the Impeiral Commmunity!
In its power let our foes dismay!

Inneffectual governance is gone,
The New Order ends the strife,
For The Empire is arisen as one!
Hail The Empire, defend it for life!
Wars among us now are done!
We are one Empire, Hail to the Empire!

Hail to the Empire, Galactic Unity,
Glory to Palpatine's new way,
Hail to the Impeiral Commmunity!
In its power let our foes dismay!

Strength for all, under one world,
Nevermore to be divided!
See now our true glory unfurled,
With our Emperor we sided,
And a new way we beheld,
We are one Empire, Hail to the Empire!

Hail to the Empire, Galactic Unity,
Glory to Palpatine's new way,
Hail to the Impeiral Commmunity!
In its power let our foes dismay!

Death to our foes, yes, crush them all!
Let none dissent, for united we stand,
And yet if divided we would fall!
And this we have not planned!
To resist the Empire is to betray us all!
We are one Empire, Hail to the Empire!

Hail to the Empire, Galactic Unity,
Glory to Palpatine's new way,
Hail to the Impeiral Commmunity!
In its power let our foes dismay!

Flag high, ranks closed,
COMPNOR marches with silent solid steps.
Comrades shot by the rebel front and reaction
March in spirit with us in our ranks.

The street free for the black battalions,
The street free for the Storm Troopers.
Millions, full of hope, look up at the Emperor;
The day breaks for freedom and for bread.

For the last time the call will now be blown;
For the struggle now we all stand ready.
Soon all planets will fly the Emperor's banner;
Slavery will last only a short time longer.

Flag high, ranks closed,
COMPNOR marches with silent solid steps.
Comrades shot by the rebel front and reaction
March in spirit with us in our ranks.

Well, i decided to write an anthem based on the Imperial March, it's specially difficult given that english is not my native language, but i'll try to get it done.

Shogoki · Post by **Shogoki** » 2004-07-20 03:42am

Here it is, listen to the Imperial March as you read it, I put a markers so you know where the lyrics fit (my version is 3:04 long).
It's the first time i write something like this in english, so i guess it may sound cheesy and have bad grammar, please give me some feedback so i know if i should continue or just give up english lyric writing or whatever

.
Feel free to correct grammar errors.

Proud and strong the Empire stands tall
Unity from the Chaos of War

Power uniting the endless void!
Blood justice to all the foes!
Imperial New Order grows strong!

Hail to the Imperial Galaxy!
The forces of sovereignty!
The might of our Emperor Lord!

1:06

Twilight stalking our ancient home
Corrupted civilizations fall
Galaxy tearing in selfish wars
Indulged, by the powerful
Unjust, for the innocent worlds

1:49

From the ash a supernova blows!
Rising up for the glory of all!
Feed with the blood of the enemies!
The courage of citizens!
The Emperor united the throne!

Flaring defeat to the insurgents!
The sky above is set ablaze!
The Empire stands before all!

Die for the Empire the people swore!
Prosperity awaiting for us!

Hail to the Imperial Galaxy!
The forces of sovereignty!
The might of our Emperor Lord!

2:44
Unite for the Empire
For the Empire is Us!

Nah, the lyrics do not match.

@ Duchess of Zion:

Those lyrics don't match. Besides, last time I checked, that song was forbidden.

Not over here it isn't. First Amendment and all that. And I don't think anyone is going to deny that it's appropriate for the Galactic Empire.

The only way to see if the lyrics match, really, would be to sing it with accompaniment--and I am not going that far, thank you.
