`Gainst Enemy, The Red - Soldier,

Our General`s gone to battle in vain

Across the hopesland border.



The General`s left us in doubt now

And roved the streets hither and thither.

What a voice we heard a row,

Does he`s gone haywire?



Oh, who shall take the deepest breath,

Who turn over the new leaf,

Is it You, The Hunter - Man,

Hoping for a new: "I can"?



Extra troops`ll be sent to reinforce The Army

From darkness, as the enemy attack increased.

When his soldiers were losing ground,

No reason for them to fire round.



I welcome the one who was worn to a shadow.

The Great-Enemy is good to meet you at last,

I wonder,why it`s been to many years to follow,

For far across the border, a cold air blast?



Oh, poor Soldiers, looking black and white,

Who shall blame you for wanting to die?

We will rise again, by the final fight,

When Fortune brings us no sign of cry.



Our General`s gone to fight again

And may White-Angel pray to Rain.

On a drought desert with green grown grass,

That would be ideal to avoid the crass.
