The Flag of the Free Nineteen

"I do love this song, very much so! Such a charming song is truly befitting our Confederacy, our banner, and her free 19 nations!"

- General Samuel Tanner, a fan of the song, giving his opinion on the piece

The Flag of the Free Nineteen was a patriotic song from the Nationalist and Conservative alliance of nations known as the Confederate States of Earth, the song sung of the "Stars and Bars" flag of the free 19 nations of the Confederacy, as there were at the time of the song's creation.

Written by Milton F. Bigney and composed by Jackson T. Vier in early-mid 21 BBY, the song was an ode to the 19-star "Stars and Bars" flag, the First National Flag of the Confederacy. The song and its tune proved popular indeed, and the tune was used in other songs. The song found its way into the First Edition of the popular and best-selling Confederate patriotic songbook named Patriotic Songs and Anthems of Confederate Earth.

General Samuel Tanner, commander of the Army of the Border at the time of outbreak of the Earth Civil War, was known to love the song, he was great fan of it, and often had his band play the instrumental version of the song.

Lyrics


That star-spangled banner we do raise on high,

for the smile of approving Heaven,

she shall gleam in love from God's realm above,

the Flag of the Free Nineteen!

Oh, the Flag of the Free Nineteen,

Where the Blue of the firm and true,

joins with the Stainless White of the pure and the bright,

with the Red, of our lifeblood's hue.

Let our cry arise to the vaulted skies,

"Our Land and our Cherished Rights!",

No tyrant band shall pollute our land:

For a sacred cause we do fight!"

Defend the Flag of the Free Nineteen,

Where the Blue of the firm and true,

joins with the Stainless White of the pure and the bright,

with the Red, of our lifeblood's hue.

Though the gory plains tell of noble heroes slain,

'Twill cement in Freedom's hail,

''Oh! A band of peace when our fight has ceased,''

and our foe from our land shall reel!"

Hail to our Flag of the Free Nineteen,

Let us bless with her Blue so true,

and her Stainless White of the pure and the bright,

and her Red, of our lifeblood's hue.
