The Flag of the West

The Flag of the West (Mrs. V. A. Jellicoe's new patriotic hymn) was the name of a patriotic song from the Confederate States of Earth which was written and composed by Mrs Victoria Alexandra Jellicoe in early-mid 21 BBY.

Jellicoe wrote the song not long after her signal success with her first patriotic song, Red, White, and Red, The Flag of the West was dedicated to the 20-star First National Flag of the Confederate States of Earth, which was the official national flag at the time of the song's writing.

Lyrics
All through our beloved Western nation,

our flag proudly flutters on high,

oh, you true and noble Western patriots,

and to the free, and the liberty they keep, she is a worshipp'd emblem,

cast your gaze upwards to the skies!

In the Heavens, our Crimson flag is proudly waving!

Her Crimson Bars are truly divine!

Her silver stars are twinkling brightly,

their twinkling looks e'er sightly!

Oh, flag of the West!

She is a handsome banner, indeed!

She is a handsome banner, indeed!

For her, we live!

For her, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let her proud folds fall!

For her, we live!

For her, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let her proud folds fall!

Oh, dearest ensign of my nation!

Oh, how do I adore you so!

You fly e'er dauntless o'er my nation,

you are a symbol of our freedom!

Oh, flag of the West!

'Gainst you none shall assail!

'Gainst you none shall assail!

For you, we live!

For you, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let your proud folds fall!

For you, we live!

For you, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let your proud folds fall!

And when a tyrant's murd'rous band,

invaded our dearest homeland,

you led our menfolk into battle,

you led them onward to victory!

Oh, flag of the West!

Our Ensigns carry you with pride!

Our Ensigns carry you with pride!

For you, they live!

For you, they'll die!

They shall ne'er let your proud folds fall!

For you, they live!

For you, they'll die!

They shall ne'er let your proud folds fall!

The Eastern tyrant foe do hate you,

they view you as a symbol of treason!

They are spiteful for our independence,

the independence you do symbolise!

Oh, flag of the West!

Tyrants do seek your demise!

Tyrants do seek your demise!

'Gainst you, they live!

'Gainst you, they'll die!

They ne'er shall make your proud folds fall!

'Gainst you, they live!

'Gainst you, they'll die!

They ne'er shall make your proud folds fall!

Oh, loyal and true of the West,

tyrants must ne'er assault our flag!

She must be defended from their hatred!

Our mother flag must ne'er suffer capture!

Oh, flag of the West!

We, your loyal children, will defend!

We, your loyal children, will defend!

For her, we live!

For her, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let her proud folds fall!

For her, we live!

For her, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let her proud folds fall!

Then, we faithful patriots of our Confederacy,

we cheer on high our wondrous ensign!

Her transcendent beauty pleases our eyes!

We wave her vigorously with pride!

The flag of the West!

In our hearts she shall always be!

In our hearts she shall always be!

For her, we live!

For her, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let her proud folds fall!

For her, we live!

For her, we'll die!

We shall ne'er let her proud folds fall!
