Blood soaking the soil you leave this mortal coil
After years of pain of struggle and toil, stuggle and toil
As your life ebbs away you're heard to say
Oh mother, I've lived for this day
Remember my smile and know I did my best
Think of me when you see the flowers in the forest
This is the only way the man is really free
Dry you tears-do not cry-for me
The light fades behind your eyes
The chapter closes no more goodbyes, no more goodbyes
d**h is no failure, no d**h is a gift
And your body will rise with every new morning mist, new morning mist
With your outstretched hand blood feeding the land
You cry to you mother, please understand, please understand
I chose this life and now I've found my place
And I die a victor in this warrior race, this warrior race
Blood soaking the soil you leave this mortal coil
After years of pain of struggle and toil, stuggle and toil
As your life ebbs away you're heard to say
Oh mother, I've lived for this day
