It was year thirty-three when the battle cry changed
Conditioned by years of a fight from one side
It will take many more for the habits to subside.
Still on the front lines under constant attack
So hard to change sides, so easy to go back
He presses on bravely, he fights the good fight
Feels he’s fighting alone thru the day and the night
In the midst of an onslaught he stops and he prays
For some help with the fight and thanks for being unscathed
Then BOOM an explosion disrupts all the Earth
He hits the ground quickly now covered with dirt
A brief moment of silence but the sound of his groan
There’s fire being returned but it isn’t his own
He gathers his gun, wipes the dirt from his face
To discover an army giving his opponent chase
He excitedly rises with new energy
And rejoins the battle with stronger belief
This army it surges ahead with such strength
They fight side by side within an arm’s length
His skills become stronger but now a sixth toe
In hopes that in time he’d get help of his own
During year thirty-six in a ditch under fire
Shares cover with another changed solo fighter
They come to terms quickly it seemed meant to be
But an uphill battle as they merge under siege
They also waged war on their own for so long
They both has different styles and they both were so strong
By year thirty-eight they were quite a force
But occasionally struggled with no self divorce
Still on the front lines under constant attack
Only this time a quick sharp pain enters his back
As he lie in the dirt face down and in pain
He waits for assistance but he waits in vein
