The Gincident - Turning the Black Earth Red

Been eight decades since the Great War
Never thought we'd see this no more
The bullets flew, the madness spread
And turned the black earth red
What turned the black earth red?
Don't forget what lies ahead
The mines, the bombs, the tears we shed
When you turn the black earth red
We built city walls and dirt floor shacks
Didn't think we'd ever go back
The pavement marked by the treads
When you turn the black earth red
What turned the black earth red?
Don't forget the words we said
The mines, the bombs, the tears we shed
When you turn the black earth red
The madmen came from the west
Stole what they could, burned the rest
Left us hangin' by a thread
We plowed the fields, shared our bed
Sowed the grain, baked the bread
How dare you turn this black earth red?
What turned the black earth red?
Do you remember how we fled
The lives, the loss, the tears we shed?
When you turn the black earth red
Can't we try something else instead?
Have you forgotten how you bled
The barren land, 10 million dead?
When you turn the black earth red
You turn the black earth red
You turn the black earth red
You turn the black earth red
