A Bloody Fight

A bloody fight, a raging war

This conflict hurts us to the core

Young and old this fight engaging

On and on the battle’s raging

Why this anger? We implore

For freedom’s cause it is our chore

Midnight raids the troops are staging

While back home their mothers aging

Loved ones die on distant shores

The battle cry comes to our doors.
