'Night Charlie
(Available IN PRINT HERE!)
It's nighttime again and Charlie is near
It's nighttime again and Charlie brings fear
IT's nighttime now and the claymores are in place
If he sets if off, he'll lose his face
It's nighttime now and it seems so long
For morning to come our minds must stay strong
It's nighttime now and it seems so long
For morning to come our minds must stay strong
It's nighttime now. Is that the Bogeyman?
No, just a reflection of someone's hand
It's nighttime now, we call it hole watch
Don't fall asleep or many lives will be lost
It's nighttime again and what do we see?
Shadows and stars and sometimes VC
IT's nighttime again, two hours on, two hours off
It was just like waiting for a bomb to go off
It's nighttime again, dark and lonely places
We can't see them but we can see their tracers
It's nighttime again, someone yells "Fire in the hole!"
Charlie is out there, this we know
It's nighttime again and I'm in my home
The enemy called Charlie won't leave me alone
