Drums of War

The drums of war ring in my ears...
signalling the fight that is soon to come.
Marching down the blood-stained fields of war...
to fight the good fight for all of mankind.

The booms and the gunshots ring through the air.
The bang of drums fill the air with fire.
The drums ring in my very ear...
as I run out into the war to fight with fire.

It's the good fight the people say.
But what is so good about a fight?
It only brings bloodshed and death...
as the drums of war ring in my ears.

I lifted my rifle and shot into the dust.
Through the air the bullet soared...
into the head of the opposing enemy...
as he dropped to the ground in a pool of blood.

The commander shouted his commands...
as soldiers rushed into the field of battle...
to fight the good fight for all of mankind...
and to slay the enemy that would be our bane.

Bang! Bang! Bang went the guns...
as the bullets flew through the open air...
killing many as they drop to the ground.
Such an action cannot be undone.

People scream in fear at the opposing enemy...
as soldiers come in to fight the good fight...
to end the suffering of the many people...
and lead all mankind to its final extinction.
