The enemy came raging,
waging war on us all.
with no defence,
for us they did not stall.
Destroying from inside,
our cells as it's host,
in their bravery
we heard no boast.
Angels of mercy
we are grateful for your grit,
the nations indebted,
you make each proud to be a Brit.
In this conflict
you are our frontline,
the countries very best
at this critical time.
We were hit with force ,
so stay in,
so they can stay on course.
Do your bit
whilst they go the extra yard,
they will soon be doted
but for now they strike hard.
Please equip them properly
with every piece,
so they can smash us to victory
like Stokes is at the crease.
