The End Was Nigh
The moon up high
An end is nigh
There is fear within the air
Although they're cold
Nine men stay bold
And face the struggle that they share
"Tonight's the night
That we must fight!"
The Soldier wails in the dark
Although the truth
The naïve youth
Grimaced at his grisly remark
In offish thought
They stand aloft
And stare into the quiet zone
Lo and behold
Robots are heard
Rattling in the cool midnight tone
Prepared to die
These men comply
With the orders that they received
They open fire
And aim up higher
Alone - in need – afraid – bereaved
As muzzles flash
The robots dash
Attempting to reclaim lost land
They all fall down
And hug the ground
Burying their souls in the sand
To double-check
That they were wrecked
The men begin to shoot the ground
After a while
They start to smile
And chortle at the deathly sound
Now they have won
They sing a song
But at what price do they do so?
Somewhere out there
Someone did care
For the robots that he did know
What is the cost?
What price do they pay?
The day isn't lost
But their souls are away
Maybe not man
Certainly nothing less
These robots could and can
But they fight them regardless
The end was nigh
The robots cried
There was fear within the air
Heartless and cold
Nine men stood bold
And slaughtered everyone there
