When Metal Meets Meet
T'was a thick dark night
When the captain gave charge
T'was a strong cold night
When the matadors are guiding the duke
We are loaded with destruction
They are loaded with dreaded weapons
We are less aware of their heighten aggression
They knew so little about our mightiness
1
We are ambushed at the age of sunrise
We saw the bullets flying over as bane
We meet, we clash, and the earth frightens
While the cuckoo beguiled in the whistling bullets
Both side kill and was killed at the crossfire
Alas! Our men were cut low beneath shrapnels
But their men suffered most behind our bane
Warning ! do not listen to the cry of powerful fighters
2
When metal meet meat, without warning
It penetrates, it Pierce, it raises men down
Bombs are property slayers, they ruins earth
The red roses and their petals, where are they?
How about the beautiful road side flowers
Not even the winsome looking gardens
Nor the trendy posy
See what we've done!
Human attribute is ruining the earth.
