~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hear in the distance the cadence of thunder.
It's saying a storm's on the way.
See in the clouds the paths of tracer fire.
It's seeking new victims today.

The wind screams out the name of the enemy.
Who'll be number one on the list?
Frozen bullets slam into the trembling earth.
Some of them the size of God's fist!

Low flying bombers overhead dump their loads.
Earth's citizens seek safe shelter.
The storm sends out its specially trained forces.
Twisters create helter skelter.

The fury runs out of weapons and moves on.
The clouds shed a few final tears.
The sun peeks sadly from behind broken skies.
War once more ripped the atmosphere.
