fumbling
mouths closed,

swallowed hole

A foul furtive fellow,

came a knocking at Joe's door,

what doth thou want,

thou craven knave,

Speak up else I put thee in thy grave,

Let an old mentality...

Mirror into style where the wind rose, 
With liquid gold comb brightly flared, 
Today embraces the color you choose.

Flapping in royalty reigns, we can...

War in a distant, foreign land.
For a decade or more men gallantly served.
From devotion to duty they never swerved.

From every walk of life they came,
Trying a ruthless enemy to tame.
