Colors of South Gate

Show me the gate
Show me the fortification
I see the trooping of colors

Where is the gate show me
Show me that i may lock it
I see the trooping of colors

Show me the mole
Show me that i might eliminate
Roy i see the trooping of colors

Show me the battlements
Show me the prepared designs
Roy i see the trooping of colors

Why did we go to war
We went to protect
The south gate.. i see colors
