I got a good look at it through binoculars. A guy in my office told me about it.

Dangerous forces suppress our will
Enter the battle, foes are numerous
Our fates are unknown ahead…

Sorry, didn’t mean to doublepost.
Please remove one posted in error.
Also, the link to mp3 doesn’t seem to work directly; the text could be found here.
