Dancing With Armageddon

I wrote this song during the first gulf war and it sadly turned out to be prophetic for the second one. I thought it might be important to state the origins of my own pro-peace sentiments.  

 

As a medic in a US Army field surgical hospital in 1970, I was part of a mercy mission to Jordan during a cease fire in the Black September War. We treated hundreds of trauma victims of the conflict, nearly all civilians, men, women, children, and elderly people caught in the cross fire. Collateral damage as they say these days. 

 

Very few people have the opportunity to experience first hand what it's like to deal with mass civilian trauma environments except for the Red Cross, rescue workers during earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, terror attacks, all primarily civil authorities after any disaster.

 

That said, in an armed conflict where people had not been treated for injuries for more than ten days, trying to treat mass multiple traumas can leave a lasting impression of the horror, suffering and ultimate futility of such conflicts.  

 

Dancing With Armageddon

Dagon lifts his head ,

we all do what the president said

send the soldiers to the sand

If they live to be older they’ll understand

Chorus

We’re living in the belly of the beast

Watching while it takes its feast

Looking for a storm in the middle east

And dancing with Armageddon

dancing with Armageddon

 

“What rough beast its hour come round

Slouches towards Bethlehem town?”

I never thought the time had come and gone

The bombs would be falling on Babylon

Never thought I’d live to see

The missiles falling on Tel Aviv

 

We’re living in the belly of the beast

Watching while it takes its feast

Looking for a storm in the middle east

And dancing with Armageddon

dancing with Armageddon

 

Who’ll call out at last

when the walls all fall and the trumpets blast

Who at last will raise their hands

and say “Please tell me I don’t understand”

“Cry Havoc loose the dogs of war!"

Well I for one don’t want it any more

Hear the cry from my lips

I don’t want to start the Apocalypse

 

We’re living in the belly of the beast

Watching while it takes its feast

Looking for a storm in the middle east

And dancing with Armageddon

dancing with Armageddon
