Calling for a national Anthem

Dear Readers,

My next chapter is almost ready, but I am lacking a very crucial part of it.

Some of you may have guessed that my next chapter would be Mythic's very Grand Galloping Gala and so I need something important. At important occasions such as this (the equivalent of 4th of July in America) I find it confusing that Equestria, to this day, does not have a national anthem of some sort.

The hearth's warming carol doesn't count and to my knowledge only the Crystal Empire has one. So I am calling on you to give me a song that can act as one, with modifications to lyrics. It can be any song that you can think of as long as it sounds very national anthem like. Examples include:

The Star Sprangled Banner
God Save the Queen
Jerusalem Hymn
Land of Hope of Glory
I vow to thee, my country

Something like this. This is going to be a big chapter in Mythic's life and the story so it needs something like this so any suggestions would be great

Thanks for your patience and support
Kindest Regards
Tornado

From Soft save me now,
I just don't know how,
to not get killed, (Oooo-ooo-oooh)
ganked, crushed and maraudered,
even by the sorcerers,
Dark Swords and Washing Poles,
From save me please.

O Sir Miyazaki,
laggers are killing me,
I'm getting pissed, (Oooo-ooo-oooh)
Seems like I'll never be,
the greatest MVP,
Not while the noobs kill me,
From save me please.

Maybe I will go,
to Anor Londo,
to grind Silver Knights, (Oooo-ooo-oooh)
maybe this is a boon,
equip Blade of the Darkmoon,
the Rusted Coins I'll consume...
FROM, SAVE, ME, PLEASE!!!!

I always appreciated this verse from "O, Canada!"

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow,
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western Sea;
Thou land of hope for all who toil!
Thou True North, strong and free!
(Refrain)

This too

Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our Dominion, in thy loving care.
Help us to find, O God, in thee,
A lasting rich reward.
As waiting for the better day,
We ever stand on guard.

Those two both fit quite well with Equestria's mentality, as they owe a lot to their rulers. Celestia especially, whom after such a long time in single rule, an anthem may still be based on. Would they have to change it for Luna's return, though?

you should have a listen to the Australian National Anthem it talks alot about being free working hard and living a good life

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

just swap the Australia for Equestria and change the southern cross and commonwealth to something else then it would sound legit

Based on the Equestria Games it seems each city that participated had their own anthem, I think it's because Equestria is somewhat a decentralized nation at the moment... Princess Spike showed that they hold the event to stay informed of the occurrences in its various cities. So Equestria as a nation might not have come together to the degree to form an anthem...

Just a hypothesis mind you...

I suggest the hymn they used in "The Mane Attraction", which was "Equestria, the Land I Love."

Well it's coming up at least and getting to a big event with Mythic.

Oh, this is going to be something if it needs a national anthem!

[A random person]

Maybe something similar to this?

Hold on, I thought that Equestria already has a national anthem. although, there are two different versions of it. Personally, i prefer the one from 'The Mane Attraction' in season 5 that Rara sings with applejack
