Rule Luthori

As the imperialism of the 2190s began to cool in the 2250s, a more universal imperial anthem was required, in order to bind together the empire, which was in danger of breaking apart. To this end, respected composer and member of the Tory Party, James Edward Lutvike, of Sondavita wrote this stirring theme that has been used ever since:

When Oalapo first— at Heaven's command

Arose— from out the emerald main

Arose, arose, arose from out the emerald main

This was the charter,

The charter of the land,

And guardian angels sung this strain:

Refrain:

Rule Luthori, Luthori rule the waves,

Luthorians never never never shall be slaves.

The nations, not— so blest as thee,

Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall:

Must in, must in, must in their turns to tyrants fall.

While thou shalt flourish,

Shalt flourish great and free,

The dread and envy of them all.

(Refrain)

Still more majestic shalt thou rise,

More dreadful, from each foreign stroke:

More dreadful, dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke.

As the loud blast,

The blast that tears the skies,

Serves but to root thy native oak.

(Refrain)

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:

All their attempts to bend thee down,

All their, all their, all their attempts to bend thee down

Will but arouse thy,

Arouse thy generous flame;

But work their woe, and thy renown.

(Refrain)

To thee belongs the rural reign;

Thy cities— shall with commerce shine:

Thy cities, cities, cities shall with commerce shine

All thine shall be the,

Shall be the subject main,

And every shore it circles thine.

(Refrain)

The Muses, still with freedom found,

Shall to— thy happy coast repair:

Shall to, shall to, shall to thy happy coast repair

Blest land! with matchless,

With matchless beauty crown'd,

And manly hearts to guard the fair.

(Refrain)
