TO HELL WITH WAR!
How many more will go to their graves?
Our politicians treat them as slaves
Dictators ruling from thrones
Battles fought with expendable bones
Since the dawn of war
The rich have controlled the poor
Innocent men die
Never knowing why
Send them in
Watch them fall
Count the cost
Their fate deemed unavoidable
The power drunk leader
As evil as his foe
Moves another chess piece
Collects another soul
The value of the dollar
Outweighs that of all life
When more must go needlessly
It’s always worth the price
Send them in
Watch them fall
Count the cost
Their fate deemed unavoidable
POWER
The power drunk leader
As evil as his foe
Moves another chess piece
Collects another soul
The value of the dollar
Outweighs that of all life
When more must go needlessly
It’s always worth the price
Psychotic character
With no empathy
Calls the shots
Hellbent on his cause
The church will have his back
For our God they’ll go
Is the claim
Corruption rules these halls
Wars born
By the men scorned
Egos fed
Thanks to the ones now dead
Send them in
Watch them fall
Count the cost
Their fate deemed unavoidable
The power drunk leader
As evil as his foe
Moves another chess piece
Collects another soul
TO HELL WITH WARRRRR!

Mortar Fire

1456
The siege of Constantinople
Where Mehmed the conqueror
Unearths his terror machine
Delivering Death
From a distance
No one escapes the blast
Bunker buster
In a cluster
A weapon from the past
Muzzle loaded
Death device
Targets the ground below
Raining down
Artillery
Colossal hammer of war
Built to murder
Built to slaughter
Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock
Built to ruin
Built to ravage
Built to end battles – Abolish the lot
Mortar Fire
Bodies are draped over barbed wire
Trenches begin to fill with blood
Fallen are trampled in the mud
Mortar Fire
Corpses form a human pyre
Exploding limbs fly through the air
Troops are trembling with fear
1464
The Dardenelles gun is invented
Bronze cast decimator
Ottoman cannon of doom
Delivering Death
From a distance
No one escapes the blast
Bunker buster
In a cluster
A weapon from the past
Muzzle loaded
Death device
Targets the ground below
Raining down
Artillery
Colossal hammer of war
Built to murder
Built to slaughter
Built to bring chaos and scatter the flock
Built to ruin
Built to ravage
Built to end battles – Abolish the lot
Mortar Fire
Bodies are draped over barbed wire
Trenches begin to fill with blood
Fallen are trampled in the mud
Mortar Fire
Corpses form a human pyre
Exploding limbs fly through the air
Troops are trembling with fear
Indirect fire
Bringing casualty
Everyday
Hellish wounds caused
Unpredictable
Shrapnel spray
No man is spared
By this heinous device
Cities turn to ash
Crumbling enemy
Boundaries
More countries build
These bazookas of
Brutality
Allies turn against one another
Inexplicably
Cratered earth
Scarred from the
Wrath of Mankind
Mortar Fire
Bodies are draped over barbed wire
Trenches begin to fill with blood
Fallen are trampled in the mud
Mortar Fire
Corpses form a human pyre
Exploding limbs fly through the air
Troops are trembling with fear

The Anzacs

When Britain declares war on them
We Respond
As do we!
To defend the Old country
To the Motherland we will pledge
Our last Man
Our everything
Down to our final schilling
Adventure appeals to them
So they sign
The dotted line
Blind to the horror that awaits
With NZ boys they’re on to ships
And Sail to
The Pyramids
They’re anointed The Anzacs
First
Assignment
Was
To Tackle
The Turks in Gallipoli
Land
In a cove
In April
1915
With no idea of
The immediate
Danger that they’re in
Through thorny scrub
Up rocky heights
Ambush begins
Over
The coming days
Kilometres
Of trenches made
Sniper Fire
And shelling
Denying them
From Advancing
Bullets whistle past their ears now
Withdraw our troops
From the fields
Exit from Gallipoli
Many men not coming home
Even more now lay in beds
Wounded, Shattered
Broken men
The fit move on to fight once more
In Palestine, deployed again
The western front
As well in France
To defeat the German force
During day and night they fought
To preserve
Our way of Life
To these brave men we owe it all
INVOKE THEIR SPIRIT!
They went to war – To defend us
They went to war – For our freedom
They went to war – And gave their own lives
They went to war – We will remember them!

The Anzac spirit lives on in us
