Crimson colors ensuring that
your civil rights are never lost.

I bleed white for a noble cause,
not a political agenda you see.

to protect and shelter you and me.

I bleed blue for all your children,
and their children just the same.
Blue shades this soldier emanates,
all I ask is you remember my name.
