I realized that by today’s standards, having people hung, drawn, and quartered is cruel and unusual and also gross. I get squeamish thinking about it. So because of that, I am revising my custom national anthem of England. Since the Lancasterian branch of the royal family was based on Salic law which barred women from the throne, making it go to the decendants of John of Gaunt instead of Lionel Duke of Clarence when King Edward III declared that women can’t inherit the throne, the national anthem will be called God save the King.
God save our gracious King!
Long live our noble King!
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to rule over us,
God save the King.
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter his enemies
And make them fall;
Help them get defeated,
Have them executed,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On him be pleased to pour;
Long may he rule:
May he defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the King!
