Have no fear, Have no fear Fetch your Rifle! ‘You’re a soldier son – shed no Tear’ Intoxicated, Zombified – we must fight! No matter where, How or When Regardless if it were Day or Night But, why must one man fight another And for what cause? And Why must one slay his own brother Without a hesitant pause. Tis it for country? Tis it for Pride? Answer me! Tis it a Bandwagon one must just Ride At Night I wake to cries of Pain. To those thunderous claps. Slowly but surely I’ll go insane. But for what cause? One always asks Did we lose humanity Under Gas Masks If one does not fear, then one simply lies. For without such fear One simply dies.

For what cause?
