Swaying in the breeze,
The petals blossom.
A sea of red,
Flowers born of blood.
The petals blossom,
Representing suffering for freedom,
Flowers born of blood.
They thrive in war,
Representing suffering for freedom.
Over the fallen,
They thrive in war,
In the battlefields.
Over the fallen,
With our families,
In the battlefield.
Dotted with white crosses,
With our family.
A sea of red,
Dotted with white crosses,
Swaying in the breeze.
