The Battle of Valandia

The Battle of Valandia was an anti-war song from the Union of Earth States, the song was sung by those opposed to the Earth Civil War because the song discussed the most humiliating defeat encountered by the Union during the opening battles of the war, that of the Valand Campaign, which served to quickly give the Confederate States of Earth, eventually running the Union all the way back to their capital, which the Confederates besieged, forcing the end of the war.

As a result of the Valand Campaign the Republic of Valand declared her secession from the Union, on account of the Union conducting hostile action against the nation, Valand became the 57th Confederate state, one of the last of the first 59 states which seceeded during the First Secessionist Crisis.

The song was also popular in the Confederacy, where it was sung to celebrate Confederate victories.

Lyrics
The sun shown bright and clear that day we all left Nort-ay-lie-ay, [Nortalia]

To lick the Rebel boys in grey at the Battle of Valand-ie-ay,

They came from Nortalia and some from Wekland

To see the Rebel boys get spanked by Williams' hand.

We said we'll run 'em to Adinia

And to the Zarkan Bay

But they ran us back to Williamton

And Union Cit-ie-ay, and Union Cit-ie-ay.

The boys wore their brightest medals, they were ready for the fray,

They came to see our Union Army whip old Zarkay-nie-ay, whip old Zarkay-nie-ay

A lad held his mother's hand and skipped when a soldier said to he,

"Would you rather have Jane Zarkan's crown or the sword of old Alex Lee?"

We said we'll run 'em to Adinia,

And to the Zarkan Bay,

But they ran us back to Williamton

And Union Cit-ie-ay, and Union Cit-ie-ay.

And then the General doffed his hat and said let's rest a spell

And for the first time we all heard that awful rebel yell

The waters of valley river became a ruby red

And many a Reb and Union boy lay on the riverside, dead.

We said we'll run 'em to Adinia

And to the Zarkan Bay

But they ran us back to Williamton,

And Union Cit-ie-ay, and Union Cit-ie-ay.

A fight locked in the chest of time too horrible to tell

Valand's fair green countryside became a part of Hell

Don't count your chicks before they're hatched or you'll work until it's done

Remember yes remember long the Battle of Valand-ie-ay.

We said we'll run 'em to Adinia

And to the Zarkan Bay

But they ran us back to Williamton,

And Union Cit-ie-ay, and Union Cit-ie-ay...
