Zambucca National Anthem

Author's Note:

Written for one of my nations in >CLOP.

Zambucca's miners venture deep
For shining gems and metals rare
But though we dig our quarries steep
We shall come home to fresher air.

By sweat of brow and reasoned mind
We grow Zambucca's glory bright
To seek ambition unconfined
By jealous queens of Day and Night.

Our cause is just, our faith secure.
We shall pursue our destiny:
To seek the stars forevermore,
To walk among infinity.
