"UP!"
"Driver move out"
"Gunner saybo tank"
"On the way"
"Fire"
"BOOOOOOOOOM"
"Driver back down"
up in the morning
before the crack of dawn
there stands the big beast
and there stands little me
just a spec in the shadow
of this magnificent machine
70 tons of brute force
that shakes the earth as it moves
they know we are coming
but they cannot escape
in front of us
a world of adventure
behind us
ruins of the world as it was
the beast knows no mercy
whether it enemy or friendly
this is a life only few have lived
this is the life of a tanker
