History
Fretrik Johnson, the lyricist of the song joined the crowds of the Gyneil Palace Revolution of 1903. It inspired him to create a song with the lyrics associated with "respecting the revolutionaries." He chose Auld Lang Syne as the tune for the lyrics as he mentioned that it was peaceful and harmonious.
He described about the first verse that it speaks about the revolutionary people, when needed, will give protection to any of their members in a situation. The refrain is written by Villen Johnson, his brother who shared similar fate with him.
Villen's part is about donating to the people, well, in the revolution.
Fretrik's second verse is about how the people also involved in the revolution again, are similar to crops growing and facing towards the future.
When it was published, it became popular and it is considered Teylos' anthem. Although there are no official recognition
