The war of words is done;The red-lipped cannon speak;The battle has begun.The web your speeches spunTears and blood shall streak;The war of words is done.Smoke enshrouds the sun;Earth staggers at the shriekOf battle new begun.Poltroons and braggarts run:Woe to the poor, the meek!The war of words is done.And hope not now to shunThe doom that dogs the weak,Thunders every gun;Victory must be won.When the red-lipped cannon speak,The war of words is done,The slaughter has begun.
