BATTLE CRY Mar. 28/83 Karl Rigelhof

To arms, to arms
I never want to let you go
But I must, off to war I go
Take care, take care
The leaving is always hard I know
And when the tears start to flow
I swear I will return

Let's fight, let's fight
Cannon fire kills the air
And everything that's standing there
It's not right, it's not right
Sinking into the sand
Crawling through the blood
Of the friend blown apart beside you

Stand up, stand up
And fight like a man
Kill whatever you can
Please stop, please stop
This senseless waste of life
This useless pain and strife
The handle of the knife
Feels better in the hand then in the back

CHORUS:
This is our battle cry
We don't want to fight of die
We must be strong and brave
To dig our lonely graves
Who were we supposed to save

About face, about face
Turn the other cheek
The strong must help the weak
Human race, human race
Who is going to win
Why did this all begin
And will is ever end

It's over, it's over
Bodies strewn across the field
The enemy would not yield
We'll recover, we'll discover
Where we made our mistakes
But it's all too late
We cannot change our fate
Death will always conquer

CHORUS
