Call To War, Call To Action
Here the clarion call
Rattles in the head
The sleeping souls weary a day bring
Troubles mountainous
Before the sky can sing
Marching like never before
Boots tight, medals pre-strapped
A thoughtless wonder
Miracle of sling-tight machinery
Once the die is cast
Only fools can be in doubt
There is no question beyond this point
A well fashioned chain wont split
Have the ranks crackling with fire
So this war can roll unhinged
What of the debris left after?
Man never forgets his place
Tired belt worn, carnage
That no white wash can change
He comes home frozen in pain
Citizens continue in holidays and gain
And war vanishes from whence it came
