Part I
Enlistment

The hawk cries as a bugle
The dove makes not a sound
The buzzard laughs and cackles
For the gentle days are gone

The captain on his tall horse
The soldiers with their spears
Watch and wait for us to say
The reason we are here

We've come to join the army
We've come to fight the foe
We've come to win the battle
All this and more they know

My mother holds the knapsack
My sister sheds no tears
My two brothers come with me
And we will share the fears

We march together
All as one
A mighty snake
Unwinding in the sun




NOBODY STEAL MY WORK!!! I WROTE THIS, NOT YOU!!!
