Raise the alarm
The scout did shout
The enemy has come today
Close your windows
Save your children
For war is coming our way
Swords were rattled
Horses stood ready
Soldiers prepared for war
Citizens huddled
Praying for salvation
Fearful of blood and gore
The enemy approached
Cannons firing
Defenses crushed asunder
Bravery died
Along with hope
A general’s unforgivable blunder
The white flag flew
Surrender had come
The leaders fled away
Silence the alarm
The enemy is dead
A city taken this day
