Langara; Tis for thee Lyrics
Strong and peaceful, wise and brave;
Fighting the fight for the whole world to save.
We the people will ceaselessly strive
To keep our great revolution alive.
Unfurl the banners, look at the screen;
Never before has such glory been seen.
Langara, Langara, Langara, 'tis for thee.
Every deed, every thought 'tis for thee.
Every deed, every thought 'tis for thee.
Strong and peaceful, wise and brave;
Fighting the fight for the whole world to save.
We the people will ceaselessly strive
To keep our great revolution alive.
Unfurl the banners, look at the screen;
Never before has such glory been seen.

Every deed, every thought 'tis for thee.
Every deed, every thought 'tis for thee.

plagues this galaxy must be eliminated. Long live the Empire, long live
His Divine Shadow!"
