The Blood Banner
Blood soaked the ground remains
They speak of our hurt and pain
As we salute proud, to our flag
We remember the way we were pushed and dragged
Of a sweaty brow and throat parched
The way we forcefully marched
Never letting our tiredness show
Not daring to let the enemy know
Gunshots ring in atmosphere
The fear is cold close and sheer
The only things we hear are the battle cries
And suddenly vanishes when a comrade dies
Can't feel the loss so we numb
Becoming insane blind deaf dumb
'Til one day arrives standstill
Slowly we retreat behind the hills
Fast forward: today we stand in the kingdom
The fire glows with ignition of freedom
But the air alive it resonates
The memory of anger vengeance and hate
Though obliterated now this blood shed's stain
Will mark this place; forever to remain.
