Listen to the tune here:

Isn't it romantic?
Humvees in the moonlight, M-16 at hand.
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows spook me, out across the sand.
I hear the mortars booming, closer than before.
Now they're coming closer, a hellacious roar.
Isn't it romantic
Being here in combat on a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Everything I hear sounds like death's chilling kiss.
Sweet symbols in the moonlight,
Do they mean that I will die tonight perchance?
Isn't it romance?
