A Bit of Creative Writing -- Expanded Ala Mhigan Anthem [some spoilers]

[Fatestorm]

We hear the 'true' Ala Mhigan anthem at the end of the MSQ, and the whole scene left a big emotional impact on me. I thought I would have some fun, and write a few extra verses of the song. Lots of patriotic songs have extra verses, even though people only really ever know the first; so I thought it would be fun and I thought I'd share, even though it really isn't exactly "lore".

O come ye wayward brothers,
bereft of hearth and home,
Beneath yon burning star there lies
a haven for the bold.
Raise up your hands and voices,
let fill your hearts with pride,
Above the churning waters we
stand strong and unified.

Abania, our homeland,
by blood of patriots free,
Thy soil bears our dignity,
our virtue fills thy seas.
Our prayers rise up in thy skies,
our hopes abide in stone,
Our oaths are sworn inviolate
by Rhalgr’s Name alone.

Though waters rise around us,
though perish kith and kin,
The star of our deliverance
shall ever rise again.
O Rhalgr, Lord, behold us:
Thy Grace we fain beseech,
For no one soul doth lie beyond
the measure of His Reach.

Take courage, then, ye brothers,
all hardships we endure,
Neath Gyr Abanian sunlight
our fortunes dwell secure.
All glory and dominion,
peace and prosperity,
Laud and eternal victory
to Ala Mhigo be!
