Red the Flowers is a Callowan song, denouncing the treachery of Procer. It was written following a Proceran invasion and occupation of Callow.

Lyrics

Red the flowers, red the crown

Red this day of bleak renown

How soon they forgot Eleanor

Along every oath they swore

Red the flowers, red the wreath

Red the sword that left the sheath

Now a king lies dead on the grass

Taught the vows of princes pass

Red the flowers, red the grave

Red the biers of knights so brave

They who thrice rode and died

Under banners of olden pride

Red the flowers, red the right

Red the fires this day will light

For every slight there is a price

Ours will be long and paid twice.

Notes

The red flowers are a reference to the Red Flower Vales, a part of Callow which has frequently been a battleground where Callowans fought against invasions.

Making someone "pay a long price" is a Callowan phrase, which means to ensure that an enemy regrets and suffers for their actions against you long after they happened. As such, the last two lines could be interpreted as swearing to eventually pay back the Procerans by making them suffer twice as much as the Callowans did during the occupation.
