Born in the Fire
Born in the Fire is the national anthem of Kahanistan since 1997. It chronicles the development of Kahanistan from a fundamentalist Jewish theocracy into a liberal, interventionist, militarized democracy, crusading against repression in all its forms.
Original English Lyrics
We were born in the fire, fundamentalism was rough;
we grew up in the desert, where the life made us tough.
Ave libertas!
We saw freedom and it made us flush;
we would never allow theocracy again to touch.
Ave libertas!
Our leaders saw oppression, and it caused them pain;
our troops moved in like the roaring rain.
Ave libertas!
We freed our nation and built our power,
We train our forces, to combat abuses sour.
Ave libertas!
Our invaders all march into the graters,
to be slaughtered by our trained crusaders.
Ave libertas!
Our defenders dig in, refusing to budge;
the war criminals' corpses are turned to sludge.
Ave libertas!
When nations kill protestors in bloody slaughters,
we will stop the grief of their sons and daughters.
Ave libertas!
We will never rest with oppression on earth;
to a free society we will give birth.
Ave libertas!
Never will we allow repression to stand;
for all contingencies we have a plan.
Ave libertas!
For we were born in the fire where fundamentalism was rough;
For freedom, tolerance, and all that stuff.
Translated Latin lyrics
Nati sumus in igne, fanaticismus religionis incultus erat,
Adolescimus in deserto, qua vita nos feci duri.
Ave libertas!
Libertatem videmus et nos fecit erubesceremus,
Numquam iterum permitteamus regnum religiosum tangere.
Ave libertas!
Duces nostri oppressionem viderunt, et eos paeniterunt,
milites nostri moverunt aequi pluviae fremente.
Ave libertas!
Nationem nostrum liberavemus et potentatem nostrem fecemus,
Nostros legiones educamus, pugnent iniurias acerbas.
Ave libertas!
Incursiores nostri gradiuntur in tritores,
Occideri a bellatoribus crucis educatis.
Ave libertas!
Defensores nostri muniunt, negantes cedere,
Corpores malefactorum belli mutantur pituitae,
Ave libertas!
Cum nationes protestores necant in caedete sanguinoso,
terminabimus dolorem horum filiorum filiarumque.
Ave libertas!
Quiesceremus numquam cum oppressione in terra,
Societati liberi pariemus.
Ave libertas!
Numquam permittemus repressionem stare;
casis omnis consilium habemus.
Ave libertas!
Quod nati sumus in igne qua fanaticismus religionis incultus erat,
Pro libertate, tolerantiae, et omnis illis res.
