Eagle and Sun

The Eagle and Sun is a Silvetian poem of unknown authorship dated from the Silvetian Revolution, around 1116 AIC. It consists of eight verses of four lines each, mostly written in rhyming couplets. While it is of a rather simple style, it symbolizes the fight of good against evil, freedom versus tyranny, and therefor it is a prime example of Silvetian Revolutionary art. It is inscribed in the Silvetian Eagle monument in Bad Erzquell.

Silvetia, Silvetia,

Land of the free!

Land of dreams

And silvery streams

Forests so deep

Mountains steep

Heart of gold,

Soul so bold!

Rough and sweet

Never been beat

palace to den

Bravest of men

We’re the people

Of eagle and sun

Nothing we fear

Nowhere we run.

Lady Silvetia,

Defender of right,

In dark and light,

I am by your side.

Your love eternal

Anger infernal

Who to defy you?

Who to fight you?

Hope for all

Never fall

Never fail

Forever prevail!

Gold and Black,

Ace in the deck,

Silvetia mine,

Rise and Shine!
