The Metal Beast : Soldiers

A tank is just like a metal  beast ,

On the long road between war and peace .

If you can't get on , you won't get far .

Six men stuck together in a war .

Its tight in a tank with six others .

There's no where you can run for cover .

No one knows how vulnerable you are ,

Inside a tank or an armoured car .

It's a slow rumble with no grumble

Through the dark desert of green jungle

On the battlefields there are no shields .

Inside  a tank no one ever yields .

You carry on to the very end  .

With the beast of war your metal friend  .
