| Adopted | 18 September 1793 |
Geeint in Blut und Schwur (translated to United in Blood and Oath) is the official national anthem of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla. The melody was composed by renowned Fahnicht musician David Fallsbecht in collaboration with the poet Theodor Birk from 1789 to 1792, who shared romantic empathy for their country and intended to declare their loyalty to the monarchy by the anthem, which was ultimately chosen to be the national anthem of the newly unified Mascylla. Due to its creation in the direct aftermath of the War of the Five Kings and the emergence of the Mascyllary Kingdom it has become one of Mascylla's most famous and integral symbols with its flag, coat of arms and motto.
The lyrics of the anthem have received attention and criticism throughout its existence however. Certain aspects were either seen as downplaying real susbstance for nationalistic viewpoints, while other criticized it for being too nationalistic and not contemporary. After the Mascyllary Revolution, the anthem was added with a fourth stanza reflecting the establishment of a democracy and the values and political thesis that were implemented with the power shift. Since 1924, the anthem has not been altered and continues to represent Mascylla, the first phrase having been engraved on Gehlt coins and regarded as the "unofficial motto of the country".
Lyrics
Erste Strophe
Unser Land ist geeint in Blut und Schwur,
Enstanden aus den Ländern, aus den Städten, aus den Menschen
Unseres geeinten Landes!
All uns're Völker zusammen,
Von der Mögd bis an die Delchse,
Wir mögen es bewahren und beschützen, denn
|: Unser Land, unser Land,
ist geeint durch Blut und Schwur! :|
Zweite Strophe
Emporgestiegen aus Krieg und Frieden,
Geschmiedet mit Ehre und Stolz,
Steht unser Land stark da!
Entgegen unser's Feindes Schwert,
Bäumen wir auf mit all unserem Mut,
Um das Uns're Land zu bewahren!
Überstehen alles, Überwinden alles, denn
|: Unser Land, unser Land,
ist emporgestiegen aus Krieg und Frieden! :|
Dritte Strophe
Die Wälder solln erwachsen, die Berge solln ersteigen,
Und die Wässer solln erfließen!
Die Rehe sollen posaunen, die Bären sollen brüllen,
Das uns're Land nun eins ist!
Die Krone wird regieren, stolz und voll Gnade,
Einheit und Recht solln beschützen uns're Werte, denn
|: Unser Land, unser Land,
ist gnädig, einig und frei! :|
First stanza
Our land is united in blood and oath,
Created from the lands, the cities, the people,
Of our unified land!
All our peoples together,
From the Mogd to the Delxe,
We may maintain and protect, because
|: Our land, Our land,
is united in blood and oath! :|
Second stanza
Risen from war and peace,
Forged from honor and pride,
Our land stands strong!
Against our enemy's sword,
We will rear with all our courage,
To protect our land!
Survive everything, overcome everything, because
|: Our land, Our land,
has risen from war and peace! :|
Third stanza
The forests shall grow, the mountains shall climb,
And our rivers shall flow!
The deer shall trumpet, the bears shall roar,
That our land is now one!
The crown shall reign, proud and with mercy,
Unity and law shall protect our values, because
|: Our land, Our land,
is gracious, united, and free! :|
