Rattler ChargeWhen the dark clouds gather on the horizon,When thunder and lightening fill the sky,When fate is but a glint in the eye of a fallen Rattler, And hopes are lost friends,When the sinew of the chest grows weary,From those hard charging line backers,And the muscles and the legs grow tired,From those hard charging running backs.

You must always remember that the RATTLERS WILL STRIKE, AND STRIKE AND STRIKE AGAIN!
