TOP FOUR ANTHEM LYRICS:
“Bright Panem” by Alex Pipes

Here we stand, united by
The symbol of our heart
The people of the Mockingjay
Cannot be brought apart
We raise our faces to the sky
And let our spirits reign
Our country strong against the dark
Bright Panem is its name
Our hands have seen our earth undone
Our faces have known fear
And still we rise, conquered by none
To guard our freedom dear
We raise our faces to the sky
And let our spirits reign
Our country strong against the dark
Bright Panem is its name
Our hope shall ring onto the land
On wings of black and white
Our fire spreading hand to hand
To keep away the night
We raise our faces to the sky
And let our spirits reign
Our country strong against the dark
Bright Panem is its name
“Untitled” by Angelena

The world was becoming just ashes of black.
Once it had started there was no going back.
A place we once knew as America of the North
Fell away long ago and brought Panem forth.
Panem, oh, our great, surviving nation,
Something beautiful of our creation,
Standing so tall in the ruins of Earth;
From the burning ashes came about its birth.
The pain was great, the world was almost gone
And yet Panem arose to meet a new dawn.
The struggles were many, but here we still stand,
In our great Panem, together, hand in hand.
Panem, oh, our great, surviving nation,
Something beautiful of our creation,
Standing so tall in the ruins of Earth;
From the burning ashes came about its birth.
Yesterday is over, today marks the start
Of something in which we all play a part.
We’ll build up Panem to the best of our ability
And we will all live in sweet tranquility.
Panem, oh, our great, thriving nation,
Something beautiful of our creation,
Standing so strong with a hopeful future
With happiness and love for every creature.
“The New Republic of Panem” by Emily

We were once drowned deep in darkest days,
But we fought and beat the Hunger Games,
Now peace is our eternal way,
Panem forevermore!
To those who gave their lives that day,
Who followed in the Mockingjay,
Our symbol of prosperity
Has spread her wings to soar!
Districts put their own needs behind,
For we are stronger when combined,
Never again a need to run,
Thirteen at heart are one!
For a new Republic has been formed,
A government that’s justice born,
We believe in rights for all who say:
Our pride in freedom lay!
The memorials built for all to see,
The pain and death and misery,
A reminder that it’s history,
We’ve opened a new door!
And how long we hoped of better life,
For our children we have melted the knife,
The Rebellion worth our greatest strife,
We became victorious!
Into future we are marching fast,
The unknown, it lies before us, vast,
But we stand together united at last!
Panem forevermore!
“Untitled” by Kristen

O Freedom!
No more bloodshed of our children!
No more senseless deaths, but healing of ev’ry heart in ev’ry district!
We march forward, fighting tears, through a night full of peril and pain
And we find ourselves victorious in the morning’s light, full of promise!
A promise of a freedom, so impossible before
This is swore to us by loved ones who have fought this olden war
Chorus:
Ev’ry voice lifted on the wings of unity and hope!
Ev’ry boy and ev’ry girl, join in the catching fire!
And we will burn away the darkness of yesterday
No more injustice, no more games to play!
The feeble join hands and embrace this song
Panem, the new home of the proud and strong!

I was just discussing this with one of the moderators of our Livejournal page, The Mockingjay (She also made our awesome layout header, by the way!). FrowningHour aka Linda, imagines the main characters, Katniss, Peeta, and Gale (plus most of the other tributes) as adults. So, she would love Lyndsy Fonseca and Liam Hemsworth to be cast as Katniss/Peeta in the movie. Lyndsy is 24, and Liam is 21. She says that because fictional characters act much older than their age it will be easier to take them seriously as older actors. However, I have always imagined the characters as teenagers. From around 16 years old to 18 years old. I just think that since the characters in the book are 16, the actors playing them should at least be able to pass for that age. In many TV shows / movies today it works well to have older actors in younger roles, but many times (ex. Glee) the characters would never be able to pass for the age they are playing in real life. In this movie, I think it’s important to have real teens in these roles.

So, I thought I’d ask you. Do you imagine them as teens or adults?

“Tick Tock.” - Catching Fire




Yes we are aware this is a very silly song, (Tik Tok – Kesha) but it’s catchy and we thought it would be fun to organize a contest! After the amazing success of our Rue’s Lullaby, we want to do a fan created music video. We thought it could be awesome if lyrics were submitted and we compiled a song and I sang it, but it could also be awesome if you guys submitted recordings of your own. However, we don’t want to plan on doing a mashup if you guys aren’t comfortable singing/don’t have a good microphone. We would only be able to use high quality recordings without static. We wouldn’t want to plan on a mashup and get no entries at all! Let us know if it should be a mashup singing contest where you sing, or a lyric submission where I sing. The second part of the contest would involve you guys submitting video clips for the music video. Prizes would include mockingjay pins, shirts, and more!
