Kaiserreich 0.11 Theme - I Vow to Thee, My Country 

Just food for thought. This was performed by The Central Band of The Royal British Legion. They represent charities who support veterans of war. Kaiserreich didn't produce this, and since I see no mention of it in the description, I thought I should mention it and urge people to support their official release. Edit - the video creator has very kindly added the details in the description, Thanks for your support

We need Kaiserreich series, like Man in the High Castle.

I heard my country calling, away across the sea, Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me. Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head, And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead; I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.

"The Eyes of the World are upon You" - Bernard Montgomery ending his speech on CBC as Canadian troops are landing to liberate their isle

“We will retake our island, whatever the cost may be.”

Best theme for Kaiserreich so far. Builds a lot of tension for the tragic and bloody wars that are about to come. While the previous songs sounded primarily optimistic as they were march songs, i feel like this track truly reflects the nature of the world of Kaiserreich. God Save the King! Reclaim the Birthright!

"We shall go on to the end, We shall fight in Britain, We shall fight on the seas and oceans, We shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall retake our Island, whatever the cost may be, We shall fight on the beaches, We shall fight on the landing grounds, We shall fight in the fields and in the streets, We shall fight in the hills; We shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island will not be reclaimed, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Canadian Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World which will rise up again, with all it's glory and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

cant believe she left us

Hearing this whenever I start up HOI4 will always remind me of my pre long road home unicorn game where I was going to do a Canada playthrough and the mad lad Lawrence himself killed the Union and restored the UK

To me it sounds like uncovering dusty old books, and discovering a whole new history you never knew about, being fascinated by all the tales of bravery and cunning in the most turbulent times.

BILLS CANNOT SAVE YOU- THE KING COMMANDS- TO YOUR COUNTRY, YOU VOW TO THEE, ALL EARTHLY THINGS ABOVE

"And even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old." -Winston Churchill

I had the one in a lifetime unicorn game where the union actually killed itself before American Civil War had started, afterwards I wanted to do it as well only to find out it was patched out... 😥

Not gonna lie the concept of a country ousted from its home isles only to return is amazing and in my opinion the best arc in kaiserreich

“When Napoleon ruled Europe did we surrender? NO! When the kaiser had pushed us out of France did we grovel in defeat? NO! A tyrannical reigime of traitors has taken our isles but we will return and WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER

I vow to thee my country, all earthly things above, Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love. The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best. The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. And there's another country I've heard of long ago, Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know. We may not count her armies, we may not see her king, Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering. And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, And her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

Commandos landing onshore the beach. One looks up in the air and smiles. "........We made it lads....we've returned home....to England..."

I love this - it sounds straight out of the crown or something

Me and the boys on sailing from Canada on a secret mission to link up with HMMLR to take down the Collabs and restore a free England

I instantly recognized this when I heard it loading in

_In the days of Napoleon, of which I was speaking just now, the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled the imaginations of many Continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice, the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous manœuvre. I think that no idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye. We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised._ - Winston Churchill, prelude to the famous “we shall fight on the beaches” speech

The exiles shall march in london !

“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, “This was their finest hour.” - Winston Churchill

Picture this: you are a Canadian soldier, you see the British isles, it's a cold morning and your in the navy. 200 divisions of cavalry wait for you in a massive stack on the coastline.

I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns; I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.

This was the main menu when I first started playing Kaiserreich, so I’ve always considered this to be its main theme.

_“My loving people._ _We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear. I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust.”_ - Queen Elizabeth, 1588

We can still come back home....England is not lost to us yet.

Hearing this for the first time was something magical, if I had no obligations then I'd honestly play kaiserreich for a week straight.

This makes me a British Patriot...And I'm American...

"O Lord, Thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget Thee, do not thou forget me"

I do wish the flare was green so I could make a reference to The Mace mission of Call of Duty 3. "Green flares! Green flares!" "The Canadians!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And-which is more-you’ll be a Man, my son! Rudyard Kipling

girls : UGH boys dont know true dedication! boys, dedicating themself to king and country during its DARKEST hour :

I started playing this mod yesterday and my god I love it, being from Britain, I wanted to liberate my home, so I played as Canada. I was not disappointed with the experience offered

The Day the Exiles comes back to the British Isles, finishing what they have started all those year's ago. Let this be the day be remembered.

I left these beaches in exile... *I RETURN IN TRIUMPH!*

Edward: Would you be interested in a trade agreement with Canada?

This was the first song I ever heard when I first opened up Kaiserreich, needless to say, it got me pumped

Requiescat In Pace

That Canadian blue ensign with "RETURN" across it.... o7

Outstanding song.

The amount of times this song has made me cry are beyond count.

I remember playing this version, this fills me with kaisereich nostalgia.

Rest In Peace to Queen Elizabeth

People keep talking about a series, I feel this would be better suited to becoming a book series as opposed to TV. I'd read it in a heartbeat.

What is so jolly about this theme? May Jupiter show mercy.

RIP Queen Elizabeth - this should be the KR theme again

"Give us the tools and we'll finish the job" 🇬🇧

American: never thought I'd die side by side with a Brit. Exile: What about side by side with a Patriot? American: ...I could do that.

A bit late to the party, but I have to admit that I really do like this variant. Even if it wasn't for my love of trying to restore what was broken, there's just the fact that the song variant really captures the feeling of "Here we go again" and "Once more, unto the breach"

Queen dead this year God may The Queen of England rest

Canada sheltered you. Canada bled for you. Canada laid itself on the line for you, O Brittania. And now you're home. The Union Jack flies over London once more. You dance in the streets in victory, O Brittania. But do you remember? Do you remember what was lost? Do you know the price you paid, O Brittania? Do you remember the Canadian homes. The Canadian blood spilled. Do you know what we have done for you, O Brittania? When the guns fall silent When the King comes home Where do you stand, O Brittania? Your eldest son Your oldest friend Your truest brother, O Brittania? Do not forget the True Do not forget the North Do not forget the Free, O Brittania. We won't. We won't forget what we gave. Canada stood on guard for thee, O Brittania. So celebrate. Celebrate your victory Celebrate the King in his home, O Brittania. But you will not leave us behind. You will not put us down again. Canada brought you here, O Brittania And be sure not to forget it.

Everyone talks about how Kaiserreich needs a tv show or a film, but hear me out, Kaiserreich…the musical.

Came here after the death of Prince Phillip, may God bless his soul and the British people.

"We shall retake our island, whatever the cost may be."

From mud, through blood to the green fields beyond.

I have been listening to this non-stop for the past two days writing a book, honestly, best soundtrack they've done

When I was playing Canda, my army, awaiting the chance to advance southward to intervene 2nd American Civil war - and when the operation finally started, fully trained, experienced, battle hardened troops rushed down to liberate commu occupied The great lakes, Detroit, Chicago - This music suddenly Broke in. That was truly a fascinating moment. This music is FREAKING-awesome

"We either reclaim our homeland or die trying"

One last march for the men of the empire

“Soldiers...though syndicalism have swept and took over Britain and we have lost the Great War do not fret we are Britain’s we stood and defeated Napoleon prevented king Philip of Spain from invading Britain and though Canada seems like the last home of England that is false we shall fight and take back our home and islands bring back the empire have begin a new age, GOD SAVE THE KING”

To save our homeland, We shall return across the ocean.

This theme awaited me as I booted up the mod for the first time. It gave me chills. It told me everything there is to know about the plot.

If you are playing as Dominion of Canada, then you are playing as "House of Windsor".

I absolutely love the immersion of this mod!

I wish they kept this as their main theme, and maybe even had someone do a version of it for themselves.

i get to listen to this whole song multiple times every time i load up Kaiserreich! (relatively slow computer)

Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the king syndicalist.

The loyal Canadian son has returned to free his beloved father, and he brings with him the might of the free world! Our loyal dominions, our Irish brothers in arms, our Iberian allies and our German friends shall unite and rid the world of the tyranny of syndicalism! God save his royal majesty, god save Canada and god save the Empire!

This song reflects somethings and it's a *HOPE*

With a World in disorder from Syndicalism and The US Dealing with a Massive Civil war, The Dominion of Canada Remains one of the last beacons of hope in the world of Kaiserreich.

1:28 gives me chills

For God, for King, and for Country.

we need a dang tv series of kaiserreich right now

These guys on the pic (including the Red Smoke Sean Connery) looks like they're finally invading England but they're just doing a monthly excercise in Newfoundland.

This is such a fantastic rendition of this song.

Kaiserreich Miniseries, in the style of B.O.B. 15 episodes, 2 hour long episodes, going between 5 characters, An American Union soldier in the civil war, a British(son of an Exile) sailor, a British (Union) steel worker and militiaman, a German Diplomat, a Russian (white) general. Each get 3 episodes which pick up where the other left off in the timeline (I.E Exile episode leaves off the bombardment of the Home isle, the Militiaman's episode picks up as the steel factory is destroyed by the bombardment, with the possibility of some backstory prior to the event.)

Best theme of Kaiserrich. God Save the Empire! God Save the King!

“We shall return.”

"All programmes have now been suspended on all channels to allow the broadcast of this film, held in reserve for times of crisis"

This pairs nicely with the Civ V England at War version of this song, that one could be the combat theme whilst this one is the ending theme.

Such a lovely version!

I'm not british but I love this (I probably listened to this for 1 hour now)

When I first launched the game and heard this I knew crap was ab to go down

After a 5 month break from Kaiserreich this is the perfect soundtrack to comeback to

British Canada: "Were home lads." British Isle of Ireland: "Liberate and reclaim our Independence." British Scotland: "Do you hear the Bagpipes sing the free England's call" German Occupation of England: "Welcome Home lads, what took your bloody time."

i just discovered this whole other universe and h o l y s h i t

Whenever I declare war on the UOB as Canada, or at least invade the British isles, I have this song playing throughout the entire thing. These people are fighting to reclaim what is theirs. For god, for king, and for country. They vow to thee, to reclaim the birthright. I always feel a sense of pride whenever I listen to this song, cause it’s just so damn good!

Me, Price and my boys on the road back from the lost dynasty on our island.

*Landing Crafts, bearing men of the Royal Commonwealth Marine Division, off the coast of Devon, start of Operation Reclamation* "Men! I left England two decades ago, as a cowardly boy and a disgrace to my family name, with only the sword of my grandfather carried with me. We abandoned Britannia to those Red hordes, and their brutalities. Alongside me you stand as the greatest assortment of brigands, rapscallions and scum I have ever had the honour to serve alongside! English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Canadians, Australasians, fine and loyal men of the king! And the two Boers, of course!" **Ripple of laughter and two cheers** "I left this land once. I will not leave this land. Not until the King comes into His own again and my children can see our old home, or I will leave as a corpse in a pine box! Now! We are here to reclaim our fair homeland! To reclaim our honour! We have a debt to pay! A Duty, and Britannia, and His Majesty expects every man to do his duty! These Bloody Syndicalists want a Bloody Red state! We'll give them one! Down with the black boots, onwards to London, and by God and St-George I'll hang Mosely myself!" **Draws sabre and holds whistle** "Mackenzie, sound the pipes! God save the King!" **All the crafts echo with cries of "God save the king!"** "GOD SAVE THE KING! CHARGE!" *Ramp drops, whistle blows and the pipes start playing as the kings men return home*

I feel like purging some syndicalists.

The 35 dislikes are from syndicalists!

This song is so amazing, please keep this as opening for the end of time.

S...Sean Connery?

For King. For Country. For Empire !

This is actually done by the Royal Marine band as far as I'm aware. Still very good though so thank you.

The Royal British Legion did such a good job with this one (Original here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JBXH8BHgDeo.html) to mark the first World War Centenary. The completely different arrangement of I Vow to Thee/Jupiter has the perfect sense of melancholic, British heroism. Kaiser Cat Cinema's picture also captures that sense of duty and catharsis at the achievement of The Return.
