The Echo of the Starting Gun

-1-

We'll give no quarter
till we're done

And by God
expected none

Said the Father
to the Son

Before the game
was half begun


-2-

We'll give them all
a damned good run

For their money
just for fun

And see them fall down
one by one

From break of dawn
till setting sun


-3-

They'll hear us shout
come on come on

The race will soon
be lost or won

And then they'll know
who's right or wrong

And hear within
the victor's song

The echo of
the starting gun
