Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen
O Lord, our God, arise
Scatter her enemies
And make them fall
Confound their politics
Frustrate their knavish tricks
On thee our hopes we fix
God save us all

Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour
Long may she reign
May she defend our laws
And ever give us cause




To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen

The last time I listened to this video was 2020, just before the pandemic. The Queen was still alive then. Interestingly, the rendition is almost fits the pandemic mood.

Now I suddenly remembered this rendition ‘God Save The Queen Zombie Apocalypse’. This rendition hits different now the Queen is no more.

RIP Your Majesty. Thank you Ma’am.

God Save Queen Elizabeth II.

God Save The King.

I remember playing once. First survivor. Name was Elijah Smith. Standard mode.

Me and Elijah fought off the infected, traveled London. We became best buds and very attached.

Elijah died in the Tower Of London trying to flee the city.

RIP Elijah. I miss you.

Can we get a like for Elijah.

And so an era ends, and with it, the anthem becomes history once again.

@lucasalexandre3767

Indeed. Good thing it won't be the same anthem, so this one remains historical.
RIP Queen Elizabeth- 08.09.2022✝️
