Separatist Battle Anthem

The Separatist Battle Anthem was a patriotic, rallying song from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The song was sung by soldiers of the CIS, and revolved about how they would fight for their nation. The song was a modification of the North Valand song called the North Valand Battle Anthem, a song from the Confederate States of Earth, which was allied with the CIS from 21 BBY.

Lyrics
In the year of '11, we left our native land,

for we could not bend our spirits to a corrupted Senate's command.

And we rallied to our Dooku, while our hearts were sad and sore,

To offer our blood for freedom as our ancestors did before.

''And we'll march! march! march!''

To the music of the drum,

We were driven forth in our love,

of our old Outer Rim homes.

When at first the Separatist banner unfurled her folds upon the air,

star systems had hardly gathered 'til the Outer Rim's sons were there.

And we swore a solemn oath and we sternly gathered round

We would only live as freemen in our liberated Outer Rim.

''And we'll march! march! march!''

To the music of the drum,

We were driven forth in our love,

of our old Outer Rim homes.

With Dooku as our leader and Grievous in the van,

We will plant the flag of freedom in our great and independent land,

We will drive the tyrant's minions to old Coruscant's gleaming spires,

And we will dye her lofty towers crimson with coward Republic blood!

''And we'll march! march! march!''

To the music of the drum,

We were driven forth in our love,

of our old Outer Rim homes

Then cheer you Separatist boys, you soon shall see the day,

When the Outer Rim's fairest daughters will cheer you on your way,

And then their proud old mothers will welcome one and all,

For Separatists, we shall stand, but Republic, we shall fall!

''And we'll march! march! march!''

To the music of the drum,

We were driven forth in our love,

of our old Outer Rim homes.
