Comrades In Arms

(Proud to be)

To the left and to the right
As far as you can see
Regardless of service branch
Unit or squad

In a fox hole or a bunker be found
No atheist to be sure
Bombs pounding, mortars booming
The survivor instinct on full

Brave and courageous
Scared in explosive events
They speak UN connected words
And mis aligned thoughts

When it gets close
Lips tremor, bodies shake
Stand their ground, ready for their fate
Say a prayer for all who fight

Theirs is not about wants
Strangers when they meet
But forever buddies war entwined
(Comrades in Arms)

Semper Fi
(Dedicated to all who have answered the call)
