Blood of the martyrs, Cry out for us!
I though this was appropriate, because it pulls directly from Sacred Scripture. The view of the Orthodox, with a loving understanding, would be that we're crying out to St. Ignatius, and the so many unknown martyrs.
Sacred Blood of Jesus, Save us!
I thought this was appropriate because it is liturgical. An Orthodox, with loving understanding, might see this as any of the number of acts which were perpetrated upon our Lord that drew His Blood, as well as a gratitude for the Sacred Mystery.
Further, with a bit of exegesis, it seems fairly obvious that there is a Biblical understanding that "blood" is considered something like the seat of life.
In a similar way, one could easily assume that the Sacred Heart, and Immaculate Heart, are a reflection of the cultural understanding of what it means to discuss one's heart. The core of their being, that ties into both their emotional experience and sufferings for and through, especially, the excercise of the virtues.
I don't expect every Orthodox to accept this, especially the last thing, but first two bring up a kind of contradiction.
