Rat-a-tat-tat
Boom, boom...
Boom ...the big ones
Create blast waves... bursting eardrums...
Liquifying grey matter ...forever...
locking fear of ...death...
In a holding pattern...
Big guns ...breathing fire...
knocking people senseless
for hours, days ...weeks...
Send showers of molten metal ...forth...
Hear the bombs drop... screaming death
All below... seeking shelter...
But there's simply nowhere to hide...
So you open your mouth ...holding your breath
Smoke, dust... smell of burning flesh...
Sniper rifles ...pop, pop, pop
War planes that fly so high ...tiny dots up in the sky
Machine gunners line up their sights
For somebody ...on both sides of the battle
Gonna be hell to pay
Everyday... but, tonight...
Lifelines ...will be erased...
Newbies come ...big ideas, still dominate
Brave words ...hide the fear of shame
Newly issued guns ...virgins to the killing game
Releasing the safties from their guns
Firing a few test rounds
They race ...into the battlefields
Quickly waste rounds ...for effect...
Then, rushing ahead ...they embrace their destiny
Rolling the dice ...to whatever end it may be
Beat the war drums ...here they come
All you wanna be heroes ...running blindly ...into death
The big top circus is in town
Hurry, hurry step right on in
...come and get some
Time ...to git down...
Sons and daughters
Park your dreams
Time to…
Fight
