Arise O great pearl kingdom of the east
Wake up and destroy the devouring beast.
Land and sea monsters may come and draw nigh.
Be scared not of their roars and they will die.
Your evil king and queen must now step down.
Do everything for them to pass their crown
To the new ruler who will rule with peace.
Stand against corruption and injustice.
Vanish not like the pride of Babylon
Nor sleep like a giant in this season.
Shine brighter than the eight rays of your sun
Because today, a new day has begun!
Soar like an eagle; roar like a lion.
Let the galaxies be your dominion.
But don’t forget to boast not of nothing
Or else you will again have suffering.
