Red October

[LadyTevar]

Nice words, very patriotic and nationalistic, but ultimately futile

EDIT: Anyone know where I can D/L "Dixie"?

Have you even tired a web search? Because if that doesn't turn up several thousand downloads I'd be rather surprised.

Oh Dixieland
That's where I was born
Early, Lord, one frosty morning

Oh look away!
Look away
Look away, Dixieland

Oh I wish I was in Dixie
Away, Away
In Dixieland I'll make my stand
And live and die in Dixie
Away, Away
Away down South, in Dixie
Away, Away
Away down South, in Dixie

That's all I can recall of the Choral Performance my school choir did of it back in .... uh... 1985. I do know that the original lyrics (which these may or may not be) were actually written by a lady from either Pennsylvania or New York, whilst the lyrics for the Northern theme "BattleHymn of the Republic" was written by a lady from one of the Carolinas, iirc.

[Col. Crackpot]

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed.
[Or, the old way:
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspire us to labor and valorous deed!]

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

In the vict'ry of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!

and you thought Americans were nationalistic! sheesh!
