Notable patriotic songs of the American Imperium

This page contains a list of the most notable patriotic songs which have significance in the Columbian Empire. All of the patriotic songs listed were created before Columbia, but with a few minor changes to address the Columbian Empire and not the United States.

Yellow Rose of Texas
The "Yellow Rose of Texas" is a traditional folk song about Emily  D. West, an indentured servant of color, "helped win the Battle of San Jacinto, the decisive battle in the Texas Revolution." The song became popular among Confederate Army troops, especially those from Texas, during the American Civil War. Following the Civil War, the song began to fall out of public eye until 2003, when the Imperial Army purchased the rights of the song. As time passed, many troops within the Imperial Army began to use the song as a celebration song, while others use the song to remember the families they left back home.

Lyrics
''There's a yellow rose in Texas, that I am going to see,  No other feller knows her, Nobody known to me.  She cryed so when I left her it like to broke my heart,  And if we ever meet again, We'd never walk apart. ''

''She's the sweetest little rosebud, That Texas ever knew,  Her eyes are bright as diamonds, They sparkle like the dew;  You may talk about your Clementine, And sing of Rosalee,  But the Yellow Rose of Texas, Is the only gal for me. ''

''When the Rio Grande is flowing, The stars are shining bright,  She walked along the river, On a quiet summer night:  She said if you'll remember, We parted long ago,  I promised to come back again, And not to leave her so. ''

''Now I'm going back to find her, My heart is full of woe,  We'll sing the songs together, We sang so long ago  I'll play my bango gaily, And sing the songs of yore,  the Yellow Rose of Texas, will be mine forevermore. ''

Battle Hymn of Columbia
The "Battle Hymn of the Columbia", formerly the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", was hym by Julia Ward Howe using the music from the song "John Brown's Body". Howe's more famous verses were written in November 1861, since then it has become an extremely popular and well-known Columbian patriotic song. The Imperial Army adopted the hymn as its official anthem in 2004, thus making it one of the most feared songs across the globe. Government officials and military leaders continue to use the "Battle Hymn of Columbia" as a physiological weapon, using the hymn to intimidate enemies and to act as a warning to all nations who oppose the Columbian Empire.

Lyrics
''Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;  He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;  He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:  His truth is marching on. ''

(Chorus)

''Glory, glory, hallelujah!  Glory, glory, hallelujah!  Glory, glory, hallelujah!  His truth is marching on. ''

''I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,  They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;  I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:  His day is marching on. ''

(Chorus) Glory, glory, hallelujah! ''Glory, glory, hallelujah!  Glory, glory, hallelujah!  His day is marching on. ''

''I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:  As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;  Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,  Since God is marching on. ''

(Chorus)

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Since God is marching on.

''He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;  He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat:  Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!  Our God is marching on. ''

(Chorus)

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Our God is marching on.

''In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,  With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.  As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,  While God is marching on. ''

(Chorus)

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

While God is marching on.

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,

He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,

So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,

Our God is marching on.

(Chorus)

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Our God is marching on.
