'''Awaken thee, Achysian!''', also known as '''Life in liberty, or death''', is the national anthem of Achysia. It was composed during the 1821 Revolution, as a revolutionary song, and was adopted as the anthem of the First Thracian Republic, before being abandoned after the first restauration of the monarchy. As a symbol of democracy, the song was adopted again as Achysia's national anthem by the National Council of Transition, and then by the Second Thracian Republic, having grown increasingly popular ever since it was sung on the streets during the events of the 1944 Revolution. The song's popularity led to it retaining its status as a national anthem, being officially adopted by the restored Empire of Achysia in 1955. | '''Awaken thee, Achysian!''', also known as '''Life in liberty, or death''', is the national anthem of Achysia.

Lyrics
- 1
- Awaken thee, Achysian, wake up from deadly slumber
- The scourge of inauspicious barbarian tyrannies
- And now or never to a bright horizon clamber
- That shall to shame put all your enemies.
- 2
- It’s now or never that we prove to the world
- That in these veins still flows Elyrian blood
- And in our hearts for ever we glorify a name
- Triumphant in battles, the name of Daeron.
- 3
- Behold, imperial shadows, our glorious ancestors
- At the Achysian nation, your mighty progeny
- With arms like steel and hearts of fire impetuous
- “Live in liberty, or die” that's what they all decree.
- 4
- Priests, raise the flower, for the Faith's glory
- Give us liberty and our sanctified scope
- We’d rather die in battle, in a bloody purgatory,
- Than live again enslaved on our ancestral land.
