This is a thread for songs from alternate worlds that we have created.
Here are songs I have written:
The following two songs are meant to be from TL-191
The Sword of Remembrance by John Phillip Sousa, 1914 (sung to the tune of Die Wacht am Rhein - with revisions by Zoidberg12)
Remembrance looks on Ellis fair,
'Cross oceans, for her sons despair,
Rebels have took her kindred dear,
and force her to submit in fear!
(Refrain)
Columbia, dear, hold back your tears,
Columbia, dear, hold back your tears!
Thy Sword of Remembrance, does guide us all!
Thy Sword of Remembrance, does guide us all!
Slavemongers, with their mocking flag,
of freedom's grand old bounty brag,
Yet shackle slaves in iron chains,
and frolic in fellow man's pain!
(Refrain)
Liars, in name of republic,
Hoisted, in place of fasces, stick,
Sent Columbia's sons to die in vain,
To justify their unjust reign!
(Refrain)
Columbia, in place of Union Jack,
Then took her rifles off the rack,
threw back a crown of plunder rich,
a union she would have to stitch!
(refrain)
Their spite of Freedom's working ways,
made them expand to conquer slaves,
explained themselves as workingmen,
while slaves were forced to live in pens!
(refrain)
So we, good sons of Columbia,
shall free from false Utopia,
restore to them all to a free land,
and reunite our Motherland!
(refrain)
Old Comrades: the US Edition (sung to Alte Kameraden by Carl Teike)
Sung to the German march Alte Kameraden by Carl Teike
March on, Old Comrades, Columbia does call,
To fight on for the Stars and Stripes!
The rebs are roused, their men at arms,
Pecking at us just like little snipes!
Comrades, Old Comrades, the time has come,
To bring these states back into place!
Washington fought for unity,
Not for this secessionist disgrace!
When we've camped out in the land of cotton,
We'll show the people there the Union has not forgotten,
We'll each find a sweet Southern belle,
And show her the strength of a Union man!
Laughing, Cheering, Laughing, Cheering, down in sweet Georgia brown,
Preaching liberation and keeping rebels down!
Mississippi is so pretty when it's in the Union's hands,
And then we will be lounging in sunny Florida sands!
When their barrels come gargling towards us,
We won't grovel, we won't make a fuss,
For we are Uncle Sam's best men,
And hell to these Confederates impends!
Their men in Richmond are afraid,
That we will slit their throats with blades,
But sadly we don't have time for fun,
We'll just blow their brains out with a gun!
The following song I wrote for AnachronistRocketeer for a Syndicalist Spain, set to the tune of Ay Carmela
NO SERÁN - (They Shall Cease to Be)
El Soto de Viñuelas quemó,
Quemaba, quemaba, quemaba, quemaba
Luchamos a traves del Pardo,
Quemaba, quemaba, quemaba, quemaba
Para trabajadores españoles
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
Para trabajadores españoles
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
No serán ningunos palacios,
No serán, No serán, No serán, No serán
No reyes y no más patricios,
No serán, No serán, No serán, No serán
para dictar nuestras vidas sagradas
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
No reyes y no más patricios,
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
No oro va a disuadirnos,
¡Resistid! ¡Resistid! ¡Resistid! ¡Resistid!
No zorra va a seducirnos,
¡Resistid! ¡Resistid! ¡Resistid! ¡Resistid!
Y no señor va a nos dan órdenes
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
Y no señor va a darnos órdenes
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
Proletarios de España, unid,
No rotos, no rotos, no rotos, no rotos
De Valencia a Valladolid,
No rotos, no rotos, no rotos, no rotos
El reino no será reino ya
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
El reino no será reino ya
¡Revolución! ¡Revolución!
For my timeline Emancipation and Exodus I wrote the anthem of the Union of Free Martian Republics, as follows:
When in a time of trouble and a time of tyranny,
We came to a new world seeking a place sans slavery!
A world to call our own, a world to call home,
We saw glowing the Red Lights of Liberty!
(Refrain)
Sons and Daughters of Ares,
Remember thy duty, thy birthright!
You have one noble task, one holy, sacred task:
Keep the Red Lights of Liberty burning bright!
Keep the Red Lights of Liberty burning bright!
Here we built a haven, a sanctum from the fall,
Of Earth's now dying promise, the fading of the call,
which oligarchy stifled, never with freedom trifle,
and embraced the Red Lights of Liberty!
(Refrain)
The dove as our bird we wholeheartedly accept,
and leave our mother Terra with the sincerest regret,
but with our leaders' hearts were flayed, we defiantly displayed,
the Dove, and the Red Lights of Liberty!
(Refrain)
So boldly to the future we now confidently stand,
and wish for the brightest fortunes to our fellow man,
But should it be threatened, there will be nothing regretted
when we arm for the Red Lights of Liberty!
I also wrote the marching song of the Interstellar Liberation Fleet, the Union's Navy:
Hear, all of Ares' Children,
Hear, sons and daughters of Mars,
The call sounds to all corners of the union,
The call sounds to each and everyone!
From Terra to New Antioch,
We'll give the tyrants a fateful shock!
On every ship and human world,
We strive to fight for the imperiled,
For freedom and for unity,
to put an end to slavery!
Hear! the klaxons are a'wailing,
Hear! the ships are now a'sailing!
Come, all you loyal soldiers,
Come, patriots of Mars!
The time has come, the front is now,
so do not relent, you have nothing to fear!
Mars' Brave Soldiers, never yield,
for you are freedom's sword and shield!
Off we jump into hyperspace,
for the salvation of the human race!
Your lovers, sons, and daughters
wait for heroic return!
Your fellow soldiers wait
for the enemies worlds to burn!
With the sword we'll beat them down,
with the shield we'll turn their luck around!
For the gavel, since justice is blind,
For the dove, peaceful and kind!
Now freedom will reach serf and slave,
Now fortune will reward the brave!
Our toil will be forever rewarded,
and our sloth will meet its due!
For no member of our dearest fleet,
will succumb to treason and for evil leave!
Liberty to every oppressed soul,
Justice to those in prison cold,
It is our glorious duty
to wreak vengeance on the corrupt!
It is our noble duty
to bring equality to all!
The tyrants on Earth tried to keep Mars down,
and now their oligarchy has been brought down!
The Consortium, Manualists, and AIC,
Will fall in face of our fleet!
Hear! the sound of liberty's nation,
Causing freeing conflagration!
Let no man or woman fight the truth,
that Mars has come to establish her just rule!
Onward now, there's never a time,
to fail to advance liberating strife!
