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
