Happy Anniversary, Pax Republica!!!!

[AstralProjection]

Been really busy lately, but I was able to make time to cook up a(nother) little Anniversary gift for Pax Republica. Enjoy!

For the Republic
By AstralProjection (Anthony C. Volpe)

For the Republic, we shall live for it,
Wherever life can be found,
From the blackness beyond the Outer Rim,
To our hallowed training grounds,
We march in perfect time with it,
And let our cries resound,
For the Republic, and for freedom,
We shall discharge these blaster rounds.

We shall march from sandy Tatooine,
To bustling Ord Mantell,
From dazzling and pompous Coruscant,
To the unknown space where Revan fell,
And from the time that we make camp at night,
Until the mess hall’s morning bells,
We dream of that lasting peace achieved,
And glorious tales our kin shall tell.

It’s more than just a set of words,
More than a battle cry,
It’s the reason we donned our armor,
And let the thermal detonators fly,
When all seems lost and hopeless,
When enemy warships blot the sky,
We call out this, our mantra,
As we take up arms and ride.

For the Republic, we shall die for it,
With honor, every one,
And when at last they strike us down,
Their work shall not be done,
For two more shall take each soldier’s place,
Until the battle’s won,
For we are Pax Republica,
Destiny’s favored sons.

We are Knights of the Republic,
We are soldiers, and outlaws,
We are the brave men and women,
Who risk our lives for noble cause,
To fight and die for freedom,
In a universe not without its flaws,
We are its legionnaires and peacekeepers
That battle without pause.

Oh wondrous Pax Republica,
Gift unto the storied Senate halls,
A gift unto the masses,
The ones for whom we’d conquer all,
A beacon shining forth for freedom,
And a perfect galaxy without walls,
Each tomorrow we march to die for you,
To this thunderous warrior’s call.

FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!

That was awesome Now we just need someone to make a tune for this and someone to sing it. It'll be a PR anthem!

Wow that was awesome!! Really well written, I second that motion for a song.

I just sang it to a modified Battle Hymn of the Republic tune(quietly, my cubicle-neighbor looked over the divider at me :P)

Epic!

I love it Astral!! The flow and language was beautiful.

Very well-written! I was singing parts of it to the tune of my Alma mater lol. That's got to mean something, right?

Happy Anniversary, Pax!

[Hart of Hircine]

Amazed, that's the best rhyming write up I have ever seen that's about star wars.
