Do you know of another country whose theme song talks about "rockets' red glare" and "bombs bursting in air"? I'd like to know about it.

There are quite a few national anthems around the world that were penned during the wars that led to their country's foundation. Thus, they tend to have references to war and death.

Check out the Italian national anthem, for example. They repeatedly declare how they're ready to die.
