They came again

They came again last night in my dreams.
The men in red with their white X's blazoned across their chests.
Muskets held close, the smell of powder strong in the air.
They came as a warning, whispering in my ear their fears of betrayel.
Loose lips sink ships they say, reminding me how slack jaws loose wars.
The men in blue with their dark eyes and dark hair will steal your soul.
Crush it in their powerful fingers.
Be careful what you say, be careful what you share...
Retreat! Retreat!
