There’s a rattle of drums A1
Then the enemy comes…
To the battle.
And the fight can begin
And they all want to win…
Like they’re cattle!
And the bomb dropping starts A2
But there’s no healing hearts…
For the battle.
And the kill and be killed
Is perhaps over-drilled…
Like we’re cattle!
As the dying exhaled A3
The reports detailed…
Of the battle.
And the fight cannot end
It’s attack and defend…
Like they’re cattle.
Something that’s deep inside B
Searches for me
But I feel best to hide
Than wander free…
There’s the almighty battle
I can’t disagree…
It’s a battle.
