The War Is Brewing

The storm is coming; I can hear the thunder in the distance  The war has begun; there will be no resistance  Grab your weapons and your hateful state of mind  Show the enemy who is the most unkind  The scene is darkened and damp with bitter tears  Let it all go including all of your fears  The lightening has struck; the war has broken out  Hide your wife and kids for they should not go out  The time is nigh; are you ready to die?  Spread your wings and prepare to fly  Right now is no time to cry  This is only a time to say goodbye  Let you stand ready, steady on your feet  Let victory surge through you and your fleet  Time is slowing down; can you hear the boom of the bombs  Can you see the red flashes; will you tend to alms  Fall back with terror filling your eyes  Who could blame you or your silent cries  If you wanted Hell then you have come close  Bodies piling up and stacking by the gross  Limbs raining down and fire singing your face  Close call; next time you'll be left without a trace  Running toward your enemy and screaming in horror  Searching ways around them kind of like an explorer  You can't find away; you must go for the kill  War is Hell; it is quite a nil  It should not happen; this blood and gore  Humans fighting each other just to settle a score  If you hear them coming hide your wife and kids  I hear they will rip you apart and sell them all for bids
