Blood Stains

The blood of a patriot spreads

Like the waves on an endless sea

Though many a patriot dreads

This is where they were meant to be 

There's blood on both banner and sword 

And blood on the field of battle

There's blood on both ocean and fiord

Where men are slaughtered like cattle 

All day and all through the night 

They spill blood so we can be free

And they fight to preserve our might

So their blood is on you and me
