Sons and Daughters of Blood sown in courage

Brought together by the urge to fight and die

in an honour bestowed upon on them by old minds

Minds that only saw red of blood and white of bone

For victory was what they lived by and glory to feed


In a land that was forbidden to the goddess of Love

Cries were heard of a son born on a cold night 

Nurtured to paint the golden sun with the red of blood

The son learnt everything from cruelty to hatred

until on the brink of a teenage chariot he got glimpse of innocence


little did the son knew that his wandering eyes would land on a beauty

Beauty that would teach him the existence of colours other than blood

Beauty that drowned him in passion and a world painted in gold

But how could a son born to fight be left to love

So it began...


It began like the thunder that ruptures a peaceful sky

when on a dark cold night, the son saw a blood that carved his heart

For in the laps of blood lay the one who taught him to love

For in the laps of blood lay the one who had shown him the world

For how could a son born to fight be left to love

when he was a son of blood made to draw blood of others


So burying his heart under the foot of gruesome soldiers

he went to bathe in more blood just as he was taught 

For how could a son born to fight be left to love
