We shall never surrender!

[Tarnyko]

I forgot to mention : it's an extract of one Winston Churchill's speech.

J'ai oublié de préciser : les dernières phrases proviennent d'un discours de Winston Churchill.

@Tarnyko

Actually it's an often-cited extract of Winston Churchill's famous series of "blood, sweat and treats"-speeches in the UK House of Commons, this one held on 4 June 1940.

@ingenear

Thanks for the precision ; never had the time to check it out.

The extract is in the album version, too. The name of the song itself, "The Great Seal", could refer to either the seal of the USA government or a masonic symbol ; so it's clearly an allusion to the Allies' coalition.

There is no visual nor lyrical reference to it anywher else.

@Tarnyko The Great Seal doesn't necessarily refer to the US one. The Great Seal Of England was around from the 11th century until 1707, when it became the Great Seal Of Great Britain, then The Great Seal Of The United Kingdom (then The Great Seal Of The Realm) in 1801. I'm sure most other countries have an equivalent - it generically refers to the wax seal used to symbolize the "authenticity" of documents of state.

With Laibach, maybe the music itself is the Great Seal of the NSK?

[Tarnyko]

@awrc68 Very interesting, I didn't know anything about the "Great Seal" denomination in the UK.

You have to be right, because this song is named "NSK" on the Volk album, among other national anthems. So it's like an official sign of existence for this virtual state.

The Voice...I wish he was still here. His voice sends chills of pride down my spine.
