Battle Cry

Can you hear the battle cry?
The doomed alarm, you nemesis
Now barricade the premises
The horror

The children fear the battle cry
The blood soaked shriek of marching foes
Tenacious, as the legend goes
Such horror

Becoming clear, their battle cry
And as the land begins to shake
Our hearts erupt in thunderous quake
Here's horror

Be still, my dear, the battle cry
May spark the horde's belligerence
But soon they shall seek penitence
What horror?

For when they near my battle cry
They will beware the piercing hiss
And thus retreat in cowardice
My horror
