The EU anthem Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Apparently the European Union has its own anthem -

http://www.europa.eu.int/abc/symbol...em/index_en.htm

Which is the Ode to Joy apparently.

Did anyone else know this?

Lyrics:

Your Gathered Here Tonight
To Heed Our Metal. Cry
Obeying All. Our Wills
All Others You Defy
A Wall Of Sonic Sound
With Amps Turned Up To Ten
Our Legions Are Advancing
To Battle Once Again

Fists Are In The Air. Banging Everywhere
Thrashing To The Sound Faces Melting Down
It S Time To Fight For Metal Tonight
Bangers Take Your Stand And Obey
Our Metal Command

We Go From Town To Town
And Leave A Trail Of Death
And If You Don't Surrender

You'll Breathe You Final Breath
There Will Be No Survivors
No Prisoners Of War
Join Our Ranks Or Perish

We'll Slice You To The Core

Fists Are In The Air Thrashing Everywhere
Banging To The Sound, Faces Melting Down
It S Time To Fight For Metal Tonight
Bangers Take Your Stand And Obey
Our Metal Command

Our Legions Show No Mercy
The Final Hour Nears
Sonic Blast Deafening
It's Ripping Through Your Ears
There Is No Retribution
For Those Who Do Not Dare
There's Only Execution
Your Dead Without A Prayer

I'm not sure, but I think the lyrics are not supposed to be included in the "EU anthem" because that would make one European language more important than the others

Were they?

Nah, I was suggesting that the British Lion should dominate Europe

I think either the lion or the dove.

or then maybe punk

Istanbul (not Const.) is cool, just because it's fun. From tune etc, it's less than average.

Actually, Jugger, we should show some consideration for our poor unfortunate bereft brethren who aren't yet part of the New Swedish Empire of EU.

This is much more fitting for a real EU symbol:
