Lyrics
Kourend the magnificent,
Kourend the resplendent,
Kourend the most powerful
of the nations in the world.
Kourend is our citadel,
Kourend is our homeland.
We will live and die for Kourend,
for the kingdom of our birth.
From the rugged mountains,
to the foaming seas,
here we make our home in Kourend,
all together, all in peace.
Kourend is a monument,
Kourend is a triumph;
it shall stand here forever
in the shadow of our King.

Trivia
- This composition seems to draw some elements from "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
- From the rhythm of the song it can be inferred that the part that was sung to the lyrics appears twice: from 0:06 to 1:44 and from 3:00 to 4:38.
