As night made way for the dawn,
Our convey of 31
Our 507 elite, the 3rd followed on
On Highway 7 we'd travel
Under the shadow of death
An ambush of small arms
Fire took us unaware
From out of the night
We're dead in their sight
Where are we now?
We're under attack
No chance to pull back
Sound the alarm
The first light of dawn, brought enemy fire
11 shot down in Nasiriyah
Holding the line, the city under siege
But the arsenal they held in position
Could not defeat
Our gunships destroy their Shilka
And their mortar supply
Onward to avenge our loss on the frontline
We're under attack
No chance to pull back
Sound the alarm
The first light of dawn, brought enemy fire
11 shot down in Nasiriyah
Surrounding the wounded,
They'd form a screen of defense
Task-force Tarawa in Dhi Qar providence
