Additions and Corrections from Sharyn:

Hi Everybody,

I'm still tinkering a bit with this one. I have a title now: "The Old Hollow Drum." And I've changed the chorus slightly, taking out "silence," with its death echoes ("silencer," etc.) and substituting "quiet" which is more peaceful.

So, the revised chorus is:

So lay down the bayonet and gun,
Quiet the bugle and the drum,
For we've no more heart to act this way:
Just see what our warfare has done.
