The Fires Of Hell
-- by Steve Topping -- Copyright 1997 -- topwheel@softcom.net

Into the dungeons and the fires of hell
As seen first hand and I will tell
Of the horrors of war and the missions we’ve done.
While serving our country, for peace for everyone

Cowering in fox holes and the shedding of tears
Wondering if life and the jitters of war
Will we ever get past life’s waiting door
And walk as we’ve done and will ever more

"Mama"! a shout as we wait for the dawn
A shape in the dark, with a raised hand pleading
Give me strength, to raise this flag high
Before a bullet cuts me down and I fall down and die

The horrors of war, as we stand here today
Angel of peace, be gentle and give me strength
To fight this horror as I look to the sky
Forgive me Lord , "I don’t want to die"

Mother of peace, I can see a light shining
Can it be a miracle, as we stand here so brave
Can it be a miracle, as we look toward the lights
And wish and wish, with all our mights

Yes!! Yes!! shouts a voice from the darkness
It’s our planes, that are coming in sight
As our eyes look up at the sky to our Boss
And all is saved, as I give the sign of the cross

Into the dungeons and the fires of Hell
As seen first hand and I will tell
Of the horrors of war and the missions we’ve done.
While serving our country, for peace for everyone

Back home now and living life to the fullest
Smiles and smiles, as we go on with life
Raising our families, amid life’s many strifes
Not caring, cause we know the preciousness of life

So, as we go back to that time of our lives
In our minds, as we think of, from time to time
Peace be with you, dear loved ones of mine
And let me be happy as I live, dream and wonder
Forever and ever and let no man put asunder
