Your anthem is a dreadful dirge you say, is it also a bloody war chant too?
Because ours, in the first part that everybody knows, has enemy soldiers slitting the throat of our spouse and children as we hold them, and us taking arms so our fields are watered with impure blood. Then, many more verses about foreigners coming to enslave us and the need to fight to the death.
Also a nice, hopeful late addition in which our children have to vow over our crumbled remains that they will avenge our deaths or follow us in the tomb.
At least they don’t require that kids sing it in school though.
