Blackhawk Dawn
In rugged mountains of beige
A mission has been set
To rid a faction of rebels
Where conflict will be met
Eradication
To return a country to good
Dispose of the unwanted
For the feud to conclude
Near the Helmand River valley
A major offensive is set
U.S. Marine push
Juniors and Vets
Its not even daylight
As i radio them in
Colleagues of three
Hereford's unique fighting men
In our covered position
The Taliban are sighted
Car bombings, slaughter
Rotor blades we invited
A distant sound
Of birds of war
Bringing Marines
Bullets, hard gore
From the valley rises
Western army brawn
In formation flight
Blackhawk Dawn
