Blood and Soil
Upon the vast and fertile lands,
Lay bloodied hills and bloodied hands,
That once did strive to build and mend,
And took up their arms to defend,
Where horse’s hooves tore up the earth,
From whence our noble race’s birth,
Poured forth to know our nation’s toil,
Giving all for blood and soil.
If the land on which we tread could speak,
She would sing tales of glory shared,
And for our brave kin she’d surely weep,
Knowing now how none were spared.
Sanguine soaks the soils in red,
And lines our roads with glorious dead,
To the victors go the spoils;
The right to bear our blood and soil.
Just as the mighty oak takes hold,
With roots more than a century old,
So too shall I remain entwined,
With the ash and dirt of my own kind.
Just as the river is the rain,
The soul is blood within the veins,
When I shuffle off my mortal coil,
I shall rejoin my blood and soil.
