'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
