I swear my allegiance to Rosies Paws and to Osiris and it's military so help me Rosie!

For all our Osirins civilian military and government alike. I am working on an anthem for our regional government and peoples. The title of this anthem is "All Hail Osiris" I have the anthem composed in my head but will begin recording it very soon. It is similar to the Egyptian National Anthem from which Osiris was born, I hope that it will be adopted as the official hymn of our beloved region.

I commend you on your work and look forward to playing our Anthem. will it be strictly orchestral or will it have lyrics too?

huh, And I always thought Osiris was born of Nut and then later resurrected by Isis.

However Osiris was born the anthem should reflect it's people, nations, and region. Thank you for the correction Barren Widow of Nebkheperure. I want to make sure it's historically correct. :)

No problem Begley Commonwealth. With such a good natured sense of humour on the part of its author, I'm sure the Anthem will be delightful. :)

I look forward to your composition.

Well looks like we have a proposed anthem with lyrics too. Going to practice it record it, then post it with lyrics on Osiris Facebook page. Looking forward to presenting this anthem in honor of all Osirians.

Is this the Osiris Patriotic Song that I wrote, or is it a different one?

As NON-WA Delegate of Osiris (and recently returned from a cross-country move with no internet access for nearly three weeks) ... I salute our new Pharaoh Ikand.

O.K, here it is: The Osiris patriotic song. (Some of the details are inaccurate)

Osiris Patriotic song
((CHORUS: From Memphis through to Karnak, good people gather near,
And listen to a message, a song that you can hear!
We’re sending out a message, we’ll raise the hue and cry!
Be mindful of the bonny blue flag that bears the holy eye!))

On nineteenth of October, our fair country was born,
twas like a bouncin’ baby, that bright October morn!
‘Twas built to solve a problem, a situation hairy,
Solution to the problem was Osiris by Max Barry!
(CHORUS)

‘Twas then clear that the country, it had a fearsome flaw!
For where then would Osiris be, without a code of law?
The settled on a bookin’, though it was oft misread,
The title of the bookin’ was the bookin’ of the dead
(CHORUS)

If you must know, this next chapter, I shudder to relate.
The forums of Osiris became quite full of hate.
‘Twas then that Pharaoh Zaolat, his patience wearing thin,
Nigh on destroyed the forums, to everyone’s chagrin.
(CHORUS)

After, there came George Holland, and he was not a quack.
He was missing his sanity, he called himself Mad Jack.
‘Tis true that Pharaoh Holland, helped make the region whole.
He’s gone now from Osiris, Osiris rest his soul.
(CHORUS)

And then there were more Pharaoh’s, some people small and big,
Among them a detective who is rather fond of figs.
The good land of Osiris, she strived to stay ahead,
But many tragic flaws were there in the bookin’ of the dead.
(CHORUS)

Then some people called Empire, we shudder to recall,
Took over our fair country, and so oppressed us all.
Some good folks they discredited, and some they disemboweled,
The good land of Osiris was fast becoming fouled.
(CHORUS)

And then a man called Venico, from the distant land of Malice,
Took issue with these goings on in the Osiris royal palace.
He then contacted Cormac, and told him what they’d do:
The wishes of the many, would overthrow the few!
(CHORUS)

And then, of course, there was a fight, ‘twas really quite intense
The evil foes from Empire could not mount a defense.
And when at last ‘twas over, in victory not narrow,
The traveler called Venico became the warrior pharaoh!
(CHORUS)

But Venico was noble; he had no wish to troll.
The triumph of democracy had always been his goal.
He set up an election; and with his work complete,
Returned back home to Malice, a raiding land elite
(CHORUS)

Then our Pharaoh Ravenclaw, he did not run or hide.
He stood for the election, and won in a landslide.
And he leads us with confidence, he leads us ably,
And he has said thought we’re not frat we’re a fraternity!
(CHORUS)

And now there is a good Deshret, a parliament, you know,
A body to decide the law by voting yes and no.
Our very own Treize Dreizehn is Keeper there, you see.
He looks like Charlie Chaplin did in nineteen-twenty-three.
(CHORUS)

And now our free and good land is finally at rest,
Of governments that we could have, the OFO is best.
Tell Congress and the President, and tell the gods on high,
Be mindful of the bonny blue flag that bears the holy eye!
(CHORUS x 2)

I will have to add in new verses due to recent events.

Wonderful songs. I only wish my late husband King Tush were alive to hear them. :'(

To be known to all That the patriotic song of Osiris post by war wombat is the official anthem of Osiris. Detective figs would you be willing to accept my composition "all hail Osiris" as the hymn of the Osirian Legion?

I think yours is probably better. I have yet to finish composing the tune to mine
