'Khmer Rouge,' or the 'Red Khmers'

'Bright red blood which covers towns and plains
Of Kampuchea, our Motherland,
Sublime Blood of workers and peasants,
Sublime Blood of revolutionary men and women fighters!

The Blood changing into unrelenting hatred
And resolute struggle. . . .'

'the national anthem of Democratic Kampuchea; Cambodia under the rule of the 'Khmer Rouge,' or the 'Red Khmers.' As quoted in Burning Books and Leveling Libraries by Rebecca Knuth, 2006.
