|
I'm a human being |
|
And I killed human beings |
|
And I did it in my society |
|
Blood on your hands |
|
As you put them near the hole in your chest |
|
Where the bullet struck |
|
And threw you flat into the mud |
|
Come on lads |
|
The bastards soon will be defeated |
|
"God's on our side", is what you heard |
|
When all went black |
|
For god and the country |
|
We raise our heads |
|
All real heroes die |
|
The glorious dead |
|
From this point of view |
|
It all looks very different |
|
As you cough up blood |
|
And an intense cold runs up your spine |
|
No one ever told you |
|
That it could be like this |
|
Dehumanized, no respect for life |
|
You want to cry |
|
For god and the country |
|
We raise our heads |
|
Or ideals that weren't yours |
|
The glorious dead |
|
Misguidance was your undoing |
|
Death stares you in the face |
|
Memories past times flash by |
|
As they declare you dead |
|
For god and the country |
|
You raised our head |
|
Who remembers our name |
|
The glorious dead |
