Alpha
He lines up the troops, roaring orders and commands
It’s war, to him it’s always war
All attention is on him, they know the drill
One false move and lights out
He stands tall and broad, he never stutters his speech
The little ones cower and gaze in awe of their leader
The battle plans are revealed,
Alpha-Tango-Tango-Alpha-Kilo, Foxtrot-Oscar-Oscar-Delta
Fight, Protect and serve
Formation… Departure
War
He scans his soldiers from afar
He can’t get involved, not yet, he’s the leader
The fight is survival
The target is freedom
The soldiers return home victorious
Under his command, no one expects less
He stands in approval
His home, soldiers and pride is safe
