Drunkenness
by Oliver DrewmanTwelve brave soldiers standing here
Twelve brave soldiers gather near
One by one they disappear
Into the void
One by one they're taken down
One by one they're quickly downed
One by one they disappear
Into the void
Surely they will quickly drown
Surely they'll erase the frown
Surely they will disappear
Into the void
Twelve brave soldiers are no more
Twelve brave soldiers is the score
Surely they did disappear
