| '''The Benacian Beast''' was the national anthem of the [[Imperial Republic of Shireroth]] from 1661 to 1672. It celebrated Shireroth's hegemony on the Benacian continent and the empire's role as a force against the evils of Micras. It replaced the [[Land of the Nifty]]. It was first played at the coronation of [[Kaiser Ayreon IV]] in 1661 AN. Since 1672, when Shireroth was arguably no longer a Benacian beast, the old hymn was dusted off, with slightly amended wording, and a new title, [[Bless the Realm and Death Spare the Kaiser]].

| |
| O can you see the great Benacian beast,
| |
| | |
| It wards off our enemies always,
| |
| | |
| It cares deeply for us and our sacrifice,
| |
| | |
| That beast, we shall love it always, Shireroth,
| |
| | |
| We shall overcome the monsters in the east,
| |
| | |
| And undo the evil which they have wrought;
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| We are always reborn ever greater,
| |
| | |
| We are without peer to match our strength,
| |
| | |
| Never will our homes be overtaken,
| |
| | |
| For we are the ones who overtake;
| |
| | |
| | |
| Gravtanks protect us in land sea and sky,
| |
| | |
| The daemons beneath us do cower,
| |
| | |
| The only Balgurd spawn which lives with us all,
| |
| | |
| Is Malarbor from whom we draw our power,
| |
| | |
| We shall overcome the monsters in the west,
| |
| | |
| And undo the evil which they have wrought;
| |
| | |
| | |
| We are always reborn ever greater,
| |
| | |
| We are without peer to match our strength,
| |
| | |
| Never will our homes be overtaken,
| |
| | |
| For we are the ones who overtake;
| |
| | |
| | |
| The states and dominions serve only the throne,
| |
| | |
| Always keeping each other loyal,
| |
| | |
| When one might begin to step out of its place,
| |
| | |
| The whole of this beast shall fall upon it;
| |
| | |
| We shall overcome the monsters in this world,
| |
| | |
| And undo the evil which they have wrought;
| |
| | |
| | |
| We are always reborn ever greater,
| |
| | |
| We are without peer to match our strength,
| |
| | |
| Never will our homes be overtaken,
| |
| | |
| For we are the ones who overtake.
