Let Loose The Dogs Of War by Harry Riley Poem by David Page- aka Harry Riley

Let loose the dogs of war
Let bullets fly and bombs rain down
We have to kill some more
It's not our fault, the world must know
We cannot stop, we must not fail
We owe it to our unborn child
He has to see, he has to know
The price we had to pay

Let loose the dogs of war
The time has come for us to win
To show them all that we know how to die
Our cause is just!
We have the right to murder and to maim
In our Lord's name we shell and shock
And blast them all to hell!
They will not learn, we can't give in
The talking has to stop

Let loose the dogs of war
Have we not heard this before?
We're born to love and hate and fight
And always it is us that's right
Our Nation's God, our Nation's Pride
Where is it now as time moves on
And the desert sands run red with blood
In the Gaza Strip once more?

Let loose the dogs of war
As I grew up I waved my flag
And thought to fight and win
They taught me that our Empire was
the Greatest man had known
Yet now I know as I grow old
The future's looking dim
Our Empire is a dirty word
I must not say it's name

Let loose the dogs of war
We have no choice, the devil calls the day
But will We Never Learn
To see ourselves for what we are!
To give God's Grace to other souls
To show we know the way to help
And not just how to burn
