Off To The Devil's Playground

Off to the devil's playground,
March men with hearts of gold,
Men with wives and families,
Men of the strong and bold,
Out into shadows they plunge,
Shotgun, knife in hand,
Off into the devil's playground,
A dark and foreboding land.
With guns they shoot,
With daggers they stab,
With bombs they explode,
Under evil blankets of drab.
One by one they fall,
Falling with honour and grace
Falling like drops of rain
Under the devil's cruel face
