Anthem of the Kingdom of Lytera |
The Anthem of the Kingdom of Lytera is the song Monika, composed by an unknown East German composer, with new lyrics by the Lyteran Government.
The piece was written as a marching song in the 1950s in East Germany, about a panzer unit going off to war but remembering the girl they love - Monika, and how she's waiting for them at home. Considered as a cadidate for the anthem in late 2020, the music was adopted as the Lyteran anthem, with the words changed to fit Lytera itself, personifying it as the girl that everyone comes back to whenever they're away.

The Lyrics were created by the Lyteran Council and signed off by Amelia I. The English lyrics can be seen below.

Our nation wakes up early in the morning The birds sing a gentle new song The girls wave out of the window For the flag that they all serve under |
Whilst throughout the year we will be gone Please wait for me, back in Lytera! When one asks where I'd rather reside Lytera, is my reply. |
The command “Panzer, vor!” is given, There is no objection from us, Our weapons protect the nation Every goal is within our reach. |
Whilst throughout the year we will be gone Please wait for me, back in Lytera! When one asks where I'd rather reside Lytera,I will reply. |
In the evening we return to our friends The sun sinks to show the night sky. Whilst we laugh and we travel the world There's only one place where I'd die |
Whilst throughout the year we will be gone Please wait for me, back in Lytera! When one asks where we'd rather reside Lytera, We all reply. |
