Macbeth blood on his hands will redden the seas?

Macbeth is concerned about the blood on his hands because he couldn't believe that he had really killed King Duncan. He says that no amount of water could wash away the blood, because washing the blood away couldn't bring the King back. Blood represents the guilt, and this is where we get the phrase "to have blood on one's hands". He's done something he can't turn back and has to live with the consequences and guilt that will follow for the rest of his life.
