In The Valley Of Peace (Nas Na Valousa 'A Pacif)


Poem By Delgada Mons – 1803 AD/ 2103 CE


Translated By Isaac Thomas Riley – 2011 AD/ 2371 CE






In the Valley Of Peace, unto god we are!
A sacred ablution, for we are the ones of love and peace
Unto the heart we have become, from the way of war to the path of peace
We are the sojourners!


In the Valley Of Peace we are, seekers of the way, players unto the harp strings of love!
The ones of tolerance!
The harbors of happiness!


They who come from the skies, unto which every head shall see them fear not!
A port awaits in the Valley of Peace, for every head shall see them, and make countenance
For the Valley Of Peace is friends to all, and the ones who reside are friends to all!
In the Valley Of Peace, Unto God we are, for the riches of God await, and no man shall hold back!


We who reside upon the valley of peace hold no fear, or misery.
We beat not our breasts in sorrow, nor in anger or jealousy.
Our tears are wiped away, our hearts are children of the ages!


For the Valley Of Peace is our home, and we live thereon!
In the Valley of Peace, we are the ones of love!
In the Valley Of Peace, we are the ones unto God!
In the Valley Of Peace, all are welcome; for God loves all and we love all!


We are the ones of peace, the sacred ablution!
We wash away the heartless and the selfish with our kindness!
We wash away the jealous and envious with our peace!
We wash away the ignorant and mindless with our wisdom
We wash away the sad and miserable with our love!
We are the Valley Of Peace, unto God we reside!
Unto Peace we follow!
Unto Love we worship!


The Valley of Peace
That port skyward bound beyond the heavens!
Within us and about us an aura is formed!
We are the valley of Peace says the father!
For the valley of Peace resides within us and about us.
We are the temple thereon, the ones of worship and the ones of love.


We are the valley of Peace!
Unto God we offer countenance
All our welcome in our land!
The nations beware, for they are our brothers!
And we will conquer them with love!
We are the Valley Of Peace!

Written by Delgada Mons, of the city of Pison during the early industrial revolution in 1803/2103, Nas Na Valousa ‘A Pacif was one of the greatest poems in early Genesikan history, and became the national poem four years later.

Often recited at major events, Genesikan officials never thought to put the poem into song until early 2371, during the late Galactic Era when the former Genesikan government, now the head government of the Interstellar Covenanted States, recited the poem at the arrival of former Head of State Isaac Riley after the reconstruction of the capitol city of Amani Unus, which had been invaded by outsiders just a year before.

When Isaac heard the poem being recited, he offered to pen the poem to song, but the decision fell on unheard ears.

Shortly after Isaac’s untimely assassination in mid-2371, the Covenatrian government was burying him in the Temple Of Peace in Amani Unus, when a senator, Blavis Mass of Genesikos, remarked that “He now, lives in the Valley Of Peace, with God and those we have lost.”

Great poet, political satirist and composer Hegio Dal, close friends with Isaac Riley, over heard this remark, and penned Valley of Peace into a song later that year, performing it at the Tras Music Hall in Amani Unus’ Old City sector.

Valley of Peace would, on January 06th, 2372, be named the national Anthem of the Civilian Government, replacing the official anthem of Our Holy Covenant and the military anthem of This Land Of Ours.

During the Head Of States’ funeral, In The Valley Of Peace was played by Hegio Dal’s orchestra, which he himself conducted for this special occasion, and received top honors not soon after.

The song is expected to be one of the more endearing of national anthems, due to the message it contains regarding the peaceful nature of the Interstellar Covenanted States in it’s culture and military.

When the song is finally made public during the Concert Of Nations on July 14th, 2372; the public will get to formally vote on allowing the anthem as the official anthem of the country, to be played privately at public events, or to remain the formal anthem used by dignitaries or diplomats.

In the end, its message of Being kind to others and treating others with respect will be its longest lasting message, and at the day’s end; it is that message that will resonate with the peoples of the universe, and in particular, Planet Costellon and the rest of the young Interstellar Covenanted States.
