Black Hawk Down

Black Hawk Down

May Day, May Day, Black Hawk down…

Words are heard over the intercom…

Black Hawk down, Black Hawk down…

Casualties, injuries, only God knows what else,
As they rush to assist one Black Hawk down,
Another call, another one down…

War is hell and hell is war,
People ask, what are we there for?
Too many lives, too many lost,
Too high the price, too high the cost.

Flags go down, to mourn those lost;
Ribbons go up to count those lost…

Black Hawk down, Black Hawk down…

War in the sands of a country we know little about,
War in the sands as another Black Hawk goes down…
