LetswaveaBook Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Since there are many German suggestion, I will mention the first verse of the song Eisenmann by Rammstein. Mein Herz schlägt für Metall. Eisen gibt es überall. Die Familie der Metalle Ist die härteste von allen. Du musst mit dem Eisen sprächen. Ja, du sollst das Eisen lieben. Dann wird es sich zerbrechen. Wird es sich für dich verbiegen? --Beter goed gejat, dan slecht bedacht. Edited January 29, 2022 by LetswaveaBook 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetswaveaBook Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Okay, I had a glass of wine. So the first lines could be: We will cherish all our units from the start. (11 Syllables) We honour (not honor) all the blossoms near our town. (10 Syllables) And the wildlife is a welcome sight. (9 Syllables-assuming life and come are 1) A house, is what we will first construct. (9 Syllables) Oh, mighty thirty diligent souls, (9Syllables) may you lay the holy foundations (9Syllables) for our proud rightfully empire. (9Syllables) Harborring a temple of marble, (9Syllables) is what our gods truly deserve. (9Syllables) Only with their help, we persevere (9Syllables) Thus true glory, will befall us all. (9 Syllables) Such is the reason, why we combat, (9 Syllables) To defend honours granted to us. (9 Syllables) Blood is spilled in the gods names. (9 Syllables) Should this displease our holyness, (9 Syllables, counting please as 1) then they surely wouldn't put me as flank. (9 Syllables, counting sure- as one) I've done the first 4 paragraphs. I think this is a good point to move to the next verse. Since 0AD is a community project I give all of you the chance to add paragraph or improve existing ones. Remember for a good anthem we need 10+ paragraphs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 a hymn in Greek and Latin for the game's credits. The team could also do something like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beat wouldn't give you a cozy feeling, but the calm female voice brings comfort in the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Het Wilhelmus will be a good one because it fits your lyrics well and is not copyrighted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
