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.
