Blood soaking the soil you leave this mortal coil
 After years of pain of [bad word] 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
 Death is no failure, no death 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 [bad word] and toil, stuggle and toil
 As your life ebbs away you're heard to say
 Oh mother, I've lived for this day
