Can you guess the subject matter?

I wrote these two sets of lyrics while flying high over the Atlantic in BA business class (highly recommended). Both sets seemed to come about with ease.

Bad Feeling
(Dodge)

I gotta a bad feeling
Things are a changin
All this parading
Its a great danger

War clouds are brewin
Best start a runnin
Or stay while preparin
For evil mens designs

Gather the forces round
Stand up and be proud
Not part of the crowd
Ignore the prayer

Murderous soul on the prowl
Like Hyenas in full growl
Fevered mind and sweated brows
Theres a comin danga

Stay wise and be free
But watch the gatherin skies
Stay wise and be free
Be wary or our kind all dies

Return
(Dodge)

She prays for his embrace
Not some national disgrace
Humiliated and utterly defeated
Morale and pride depleted

A mission gone wrong
Ends with a pressed throng
A normal naval control
Ends with loads of vitriol

Taken without a fight
None of that majestic might
Captured and violated
Paraded and humiliated

Remember the noble profession
Before expressing your derision
Their orders forbade
Lest they looked to invade

Forgive their plight
Sapped of their might
There in an Arab Sea
Unable to do their duty
