THE BUGLER
Phil Roberts 1957 (Melbourne)
Mournful melody
Enveloping the night,
The Bugler approaches.
The Bugler draws near
Playing his sweet tune of death,
No-one can resist.
Bugling fills the night
The air frigid with terror,
The Bugler is here.
The Bugler playing
A tune of death and madness,
A tune of terror.
The Bugler signals
A time of constant death,
Time of constant fear.
THE END
