Stand up

Stand up is the national anthem of the Valruzian Federation adopted in ?.


 * Stand up, all victims of oppression
 * For the tyrants fear your might
 * Don't cling so hard to your possessions
 * For you have nothing, if you have no rights
 * Let racist ignorance be ended
 * For respect makes the empires fall
 * Freedom is merely privilege extended
 * Unless enjoyed by one and all


 * So come brothers and sisters
 * For the struggle carries on
 * The Internationale
 * Unites the world in song
 * So comrades come rally
 * For this is the time and place
 * The international ideal
 * Unites the human race


 * Let no one build walls to divide us
 * Walls of hatred nor walls of stone
 * Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
 * We'll live together or we'll die alone
 * In our world poisoned by exploitation
 * Those who have taken, now they must give
 * And end the vanity of nations
 * We've but one Earth on which to live


 * And so begins the final drama
 * In the streets and in the fields
 * We stand unbowed before their armour
 * We defy their guns and shields
 * When we fight, provoked by their aggression
 * Let us be inspired by like and love
 * For though they offer us concessions
 * Change will not come from above
