Blood Lyrics
Thank-you for the lies, the lies you sold us.
Thank-you for this vision of violence. Thank-you for this song you gave me to sing. Thank-you for the capping day of a culture that lay dying. Yes it's us dying. Maybe it won't be long, now that it's all gone on. It's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands. We saw them lying there with their arms around each other, staring through their fear and the miles between our heads. You could have told the truth. It was your decision to sacrifice integrity and compassion for greed. Now it's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands.

First verse is from the side of the Natives. Second verse if told from the side of US Army on the attack.
Very similar to the play done by Iron Maiden on "Run to the Hills".

Additionally, this song appears to be told from the point of view of a group of survivors. In the face of a government that did nothing or did the wrong thing, the survivors did what they could, even though it might not have been the most right thing either.
All in all, it shows how a government has to care for its people and pay attention to them instead of deluding them "for their own good."
