Indeed it is, very inspiring.
The only two national anthems I can think of that are as good are La Marseilles and L'Internationale (the latter formerly being the national anthem of Bolshevist Russia/early Soviet Union)

RedsThe coolest thing about La Marseilles, besides the awesome tune, is just how fuckin bloody the lyrics are. Here's the English translation of them:
Come, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny,
The bloody banner has been raised!
The bloody banner has been raised!
Do you hear into the countryside,
of those ferocious soldiers wailing?
They're coming right into your arms
To slit the throats of your sons and wives!
To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let's march, let's march!
So their impure blood
Waters our furrows!
