Blood of the Poppy

[Verse]
There's blood ingrained on that poppy of yours
A symbol of battles and long-fought wars
In fields where heroes laid down to sleep
Their stories hidden in roots so deep
[Chorus]
Poppy red and soldiers' cries
In the mist where history lies
Blood and tear we see them clear
Memories we hold so dear
[Verse]
The songs of old they echo still
In hearts that fought on every hill
Wild and free as the morning breeze
They faced the foe between the trees
[Chorus]
Poppy red and soldiers' cries
In the mist where history lies
Blood and tear we see them clear
Memories we hold so dear
[Bridge]
With every drop that touched the earth
It bore the tales of courage and mirth
Growing tall amidst the pain
A witness to what was lost and gained
[Verse]
The shadows dance on starlit nights
Of those who stood up for the fight
With poppy red upon their chest
Their legacy we won't let rest
