"Battle Hymn of the Empire" - Marsh Family adaptation of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" about Trump

The “Battle Hymn of the Republic” is an iconic American song, drawing on lots of roots and precursors, but pulled into its most famous shape by abolitionist Julia Ward Howe. During the American Civil War it became a signature marching song for the Union Army, linked to patriotism and faith, and has since become part of the canon of American national music. We do not attempt or treat it lightly, but our version reflects on how the first week of 2026 has already seen Trump's troops advancing his domestic and foreign policy agendas. Every marching step is another step away from the principles and traditions embedded in the song: we have seen the transgression of international law in Venezuela, the murder of unarmed Americans in Minneapolis (and its defence by the administration), the US's withdrawal from multiple international organisations, and explicit threats issued to other sovereign powers and polities, including Greenland. ___________________________ Support us here: PayPal to leave us a tip jar: https://paypal.me/marshfamilysongs Patreon for ongoing support & bonuses:   / marshfamilysongs   Crowdfunder for debut album out in 2026: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Trump’s troops are marching on. ICE shot dead an unarmed mother sitting harmless at the wheel They might spin it to condemn her, but the footage shows what’s real Yet they fear no retribution for the murder they conceal Since Trump is marching on He has Delta Force to mobilise with choppers and a fleet He’ll be stripping nations’ assets, with aggression and deceit Oh, beware if you’ve got min-er-als or dare to drag your feet! For Trump is marching on How he longs to have an empire How he longs to have an empire How he hankers for an empire! Trump’s troops are marching on. In the reckless opportunities Trump seeks across the seas He gives license to the tyrants – to the Putins, and the Xis They all lie about their motives, and the prize is never peace While Trump is marching on He is drumming out the glory of a land once free and brave He is chiselling the marble but the statue looks depraved Now the world must watch this ghoul, as he launches tidal waves Let’s hope one day they’re gone Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Glory, glory, Hallelujah! Let’s hope one day they’re gone ___________________________ THANKS SO MUCH TO PATREONS (HOWLERS below): Alyssa Sangeeta Jacobson Memorial Fund Sacramento Scott Christian Schranz Peter Green Richard Boultbee LisaMarie Fitzpatrick Ed Rocheck Sandra Vernooy Dan McColm Douglas Lind David Ryan Simon Haslam Lew Mike Smith Andy Riches Cliff Hope Carol Leff David Patrao Karen & Geeta Grandad
