Blood Is Older Than Flags

by Metal Revenge
from the album The Dark Forrest

Blood Is Older Than Flags confronts historical guilt and inherited violence — the truth that bloodshed existed long before nations, borders, and symbols were created to justify it.

The song explores how violence is passed down through generations, wrapped in identity, tradition, and patriotism. Flags rise, fall, and change, but the blood beneath them remains the same. Long before ideology, people were already killing — and long after symbols fade, the consequences still live on.

This track is not about one country or one conflict. It is about ancestry, memory, and the uncomfortable realization that history is not distant — it lives inside those who inherit its aftermath.

Blood Is Older Than Flags asks a dangerous question:
If violence predates identity, why do we keep hiding behind it?

As Track 6 on The Dark Forrest, the album turns from system-level critique to human inheritance — exposing how the past speaks through the present whether we acknowledge it or not.
