The Sky Blue Star

"The Sky Blue Star" is a song written by Czarin Lescha, following the evacuation of Alsesia during the Ralderite Invasions. In Ultima, the song is the national anthem of Nogodrick, and later Soldakia.

Lyrics
Do you see the light that shines from above

Over yonder mountains high?

The rays that guide our people home, from places far and wide.

Oh valiantly does this light shine,

Gleaming forth down from our sky.

Our sky blue star blazing gallantly does burn away the night!

Oh, say do you see our country, brightened for us all?

So the greatest of our kind can see within his halls.

And our light shall blind all tyrants' eyes, so freedom's bells may ring.

And when all the dust has settled down, our progeny shall sing:

Nogodrick, our valiant state,

Nogodrick stands so proud and great.

His mighty will that smites all crime —

Shall live on through all time!

So be glorious, our Fatherland,

As ourageous people of your land,

Shall prosper on beneath your hand,

And fight as soldiers grand!

From the northern seas to the frozen peaks

North Volaryns stand on guard for thee.

You are unique, without compare

Born of all our dreams and freedom's air!

So be glorious, our Fatherland,

As the righteous people of your land,

Shall follow wisdom by your hand,

As words forever grand!

Even should we fall to the throes of death,

Our immortal spirit shall win this test.

Your children's hearts will have no rest!

Avenging honor with every breath.

So be glorious, our Fatherland,

Honored province of the riverland,

Your enemies slain by your hand,

Shall crumble into sand!

Oh, Nogodrick, our valiant state

You shall never pass by hands of fate.

For in our hearts, you will live on.

Our haven made for our daughters and sons...
