The flag of
their independence,
their identity as a nation, a people,
red with the blood of the heroes,
stained with the blood of martyrs,
of far too many innocents lost…
The flag of
their independence,
tied to this ancient people, their resolve,
standing in the gap where others do not,
a bulwark against the evil, the conquest,
terror, genocide unleashed against them…
The flag of
their independence,
evoking their land, this promise,
their resolve, their courage will reap,
a harvest of justice, of recovery,
a just peace will surely rise…
The flag of their
independence,
will once again fly high on the flagpoles,
the nation in recovery, at peace, ascendant,
changing the face of Europe, around them,
cleared of the stain of imperialism,
safe in their nation, their homes…
