Farewell to the Blue Striped Banner

Farewell to the Blue Barred Banner (An Ode to Sister States of Liberty) was an early 21 BBY patriotic song of the Confederate States of Earth penned by Mrs Ellen D. Peticolas and composed by her husband, Reginald Laramie Peticolas which sung of the young Confederacy saying "Farewell" to the banner of the Union of Earth States forever, as well as honour to the founding 10 nations of the Confederacy.

The song was somewhat popular, and was included in the First Edition of Patriotic Songs and Anthems of Confederate Earth, a best-selling patriotic songbook of Confederate and Separatist music pieces, both the lyric sheet and piano music sheet for the song were included in the book.

Lyrics
Let tyrants and knaves submissively tremble,

and bow down their necks in great awe of our pow'r,

Many brave men will rise for our nation,

and cry "Give me Freedom, or give me war!"

Farewell forever the Blue Barred Banner,

No longer shall wave o'er the land of the free,

But we'll unfurl to the cool breeze of Heaven,

Our ensign of the white stars and Crimson Bars.

We honour, yes honour, the great Zarkan Kingdom,

who first rose for freedom in protest of tyranny,

the catalyst of our great Confederacy,

she is our mother, let her show the way!

Farewell forever the Blue Barred Banner,

No longer shall wave o'er the land of the free,

But we'll unfurl to the cool breeze of Heaven,

Our ensign of the white stars and Crimson Bars.

We honour, yes honour, our seceding Sisters,

who joined old Zarkania for the right to be free!

Together, we shall break the East's stranglehold,

we shall ensure that safe our lands shall e'er be!

Farewell forever the Blue Barred Banner,

No longer shall wave o'er the land of the free,

But we'll unfurl to the cool breeze of Heaven,

Our ensign of the white stars and Crimson Bars.

And when to our great cause the others shall join,

join with our present band of the Ten,

then the East shall see the proud, free West rising,

then shall we escape their taxation den!

Farewell forever the Blue Barred Banner,

No longer shall wave o'er the land of the free,

But we'll unfurl to the cool breeze of Heaven,

Our ensign of the white stars and Crimson Bars.

Sisters in Liberty shine in constellation,

Shine as Heav'nly stars on the canton of our flag,

Shine on that honoured banner of freedom,

That banner we love with all our hearts!

Farewell forever the Blue Barred Banner,

No longer shall wave o'er the land of the free,

But we'll unfurl to the cool breeze of Heaven,

Our ensign of the white stars and Crimson Bars.
