Our Confederacy, Forever! (alternative title: Confederate Battle Cry of Freedom) was a Confederate States of Earth variant of the popular Union of Earth States patriotic song The Union, Forever! from 20 BBY.
As with most Confederate patriotic songs, the song was also popular across the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which was allied with the Confederate States.
The song was included in the Second Edition of the book titled Patriotic Songs and Anthems of Confederate Earth, which was popular across the CIS, and contained a collection of patriotic songs and anthems from the Confederate States of Earth and related governments.
Lyrics[]
Original Confederate version[]
Our flag is proudly flying o'er the land and o'er the main,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Beneath her oft we've conquer'd,
and we'll conquer oft again!
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our Confederacy, Forever! Her freedom shall ne'er be lost!
Down with the Union and up with the West!
We'll rally 'round our barred banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our valiant folks have marched to the music of the drums,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
And our great, noble leaders cry out - "March, boys, march!"
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our Confederacy, Forever! Her freedom shall ne'er be lost!
Down with the Union and up with the West!
We'll rally 'round our barred banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
We have laid down our lives on the bloody battlefield,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our motto is resistance - "To oppression never yield!"
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our Confederacy, Forever! Her freedom shall ne'er be lost!
Down with the Union and up with the West!
We'll rally 'round our barred banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Whilst our soldiery have answered the trumps of battle,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our noble civilians, also, have aided them at home,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our Confederacy, Forever! Her freedom shall ne'er be lost!
Down with the Union and up with the West!
We'll rally 'round our barred banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Separatist version[]
The Separatists had a slightly modified version, the two versions were largely same, but the Separatist version replaced mentions of the Union with the Republic and the "West" with the Rim, "We'll rally 'round our barred banner" was also changed to "We'll rally 'round our blued banner", in reference to the flag of the CIS.
Our flag is proudly flying o'er land and o'er main,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Beneath it oft we've liberated,
and we'll liberate oft again!
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our Confederacy, Forever! She'll never be lost!
Down with the Republic and up with the Rim!
We'll rally 'round our blued banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
We have laid down our lives on the bloody battlefield,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!,
Our motto is resistance - "To oppression never yield!
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!"
Our Confederacy, Forever! She'll never be lost!
Down with the Republic and up with the Rim!
We'll rally 'round our blued banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our valiant folks have marched to the music of the drums,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
And our great leaders cry out - "March, boys, march!
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our Confederacy, Forever! She'll never be lost!
Down with the Republic and up with the Rim!
We'll rally 'round our blued banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Whilst our soldiery has answered the call of battle,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our noble civilians, also, have aided them at home,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
Our Confederacy, Forever! She'll never be lost!
Down with the Republic and up with the Rim!
We'll rally 'round our blued banner, we'll rally once again,
Shout, shout, the battle cry of freedom!
