Black Boeings, like thieves in the night,
steal our husbands away, far out of sight,
The land into desert the color of blood, they blight,
The Earth is dying, with no end to this fight!
Black Boeings, like thieves in the night,
steal our husbands away, far out of sight,
The women weep and the children cry.
Somewhere, across the sea.
We hear them weep, yet this war will not die!
Black Boeings...
Like thieves in the night are flying.
Our husbands are killing people And now they, too, are dying.
And, each dawn, messengers call.
Telling us of our own husbands' fall.
We learn that our husbands are dead.
Yet this war will not end. There's no end in sight...
THE END
