Bodies upon bodies
Sand upon sand
Miles upon miles
Blood upon tiles

Kingdom after empire
Movement after war
People searching high and low
For something that is more

Flags accosting the bluest sky
Red running into green and grey
Sabers rattling and glinting in the light
They can make the masses sway

Blood upon tiles
Bodies for miles
Bombs and ships go
After the sun sets

New lines on the map
The erasures are clear
More mountains and fields
Their sovereign is here

Bullets upon helmets
Blood upon tiles
Warriors burn files
As land changes hands
