The Dogs of War

They came at night
Like the ‘Dogs of War’
Laid waste to lives
From shore to shore
All across the land
Among the wealthy and poor
They pillaged and raped
Whatever they saw

We were subject now
To a Tyrant’s law
All held in thrall
Until we soon swore
To reclaim our home
From those ‘Dogs of War’
And we vowed there
To suffer no more

(Instrumental interlude)

Wave the flag boys
Wave the flag
Round the flag boys
Wave the flag
Wave the flag
To the flag boys Woh Oh

For every, every man
Has the right to be free
To protect his home
Preserve his dignity
Beyond our flag
Lies the foe and enemy
And we assaulted them
Vowing no mercy

Until we’re free
Until we’re free
God …….
God and Country
Till we’re free
For God and country
Till we’re free
God and Country

(instrumental interlude)

Until at last
We were free once more
For we crushed in the end
Those cruel ‘Dogs of War’.
