Drums Will Roll

Reprinted in memory of Sept. 11

Drums will roll, hands salute
The urge to go is resolute
Hearts, they burn with youthful fire
Minds they blaze with one desire
Fight this fight, right this wrong
March to words of some patriotic song
Go on and do what has been decreed
Go on and die, go on and bleed
For wars must come and men must die
Wives must mourn and mothers cry
Off you go, your duty clear
Fight you must 'cause the enemy is near
Fight you must...the war is here
