## Translation

*Glory to Lumbařiz, glory to the Supercorporation,
May the Supercorporation live forever!
Glory to the hope in the East;
May the Supercorporation live forever!*

*Glory to the Supercorporation, bastion of civilisation!
Heirloom to the Celestials’ wealth of knowledge
Refined over millions upon billions of years,
A beacon of knowledge, a wellspring of industry.*

Hail to this island, in a dark sea of ruin!
The sun that dispels the shadows,
The lamp that burns the terrors,
From which a million fleets spread its glory!*

Hail to the glorious that stands against Galactic chaos!
The pillar rising against the storm,
The mountain over the smoking earth,
From whence just troops instill long-gone honour!*

May it spread its benevolence throughout the Galaxy!
May all of its foes tremble before its guns,
May the Galaxy sing the glories of our civilisation,
May it light the lamps and hearts of the whole Galaxy!*

*(Ten thousand praises to you, O Supercorporation,
A realm blessed by the light of the Gods!
You are the Blessed Realm, you are the Happy Realm,
The mirror of Heaven and its child.
You shall bring the Galaxy in Heaven's joyous light!)*

*NÂKKEMELDARANDI VEIKIRÖGA, HOI!*

## The Ship Across The Stars

This was the anthem that was used during the founding of Nandegakko, nearly a thousand years ago.

*Hail Druvara, Lumbariz, Makravalas,
Hail Odin, Lords of Heaven, and Six Above!
May the Five Heavens lead us to victory
Over the many demons around us.*

*O Lumbariz, O Druvara,
O Odin, Lord of Knowledge,
Guide us as we steer our diamond ship
Across the stream of stars.
O Makravalas, Bringer of Joy,*

## "Runatal song" (song of the glyphs)

This was the national anthem of the Malendor Supercorporation when it was first founded by Rigara.

As it sounded rather soothing and hopeful, in spite of the sad tone of the lyrics, Rigara chose it as his realm's national anthem. It was also his childhood lullaby, played in a soothing D major.

### Translation

*For nine days
And nine nights,
I know what I learned,
Hung from a windy tree.*

*Pierced by a spear for Odin,
Giving myself to myself,
High on an unknown tree
Whose roots go to nowhere.*

*They gave me no bread,
and no horn to drink with,
I looked down to the earth,
I screamed out the Runes,
taking them up,
I fell from the tree afterwards.*

### Corresponding Old Norse lyrics (Hávamál 137-139)

*Veit ek, at ek hekk
vindga meiði á
nætr allar níu,
geiri undaðr*

*ok gefinn Óðni,
sjalfr sjalfum mér,
á þeim meiði,
er manngi veit
hvers af rótum renn.*

*Við hleifi mik
sældu né við hornigi;
nýsta ek niðr,
nam ek upp rúnar,
æpandi nam,
fell ek aftr þaðan.*

## Trivia
