Story Behind the Song
about a soldier who was born and bred for a life stricken by war, when his inner humanity, and conflict of right and wrong begin to interfere with his primary mission in life, he begins to question his place in the afterlife.
Lyrics
Let us pray now to god,
so he may save us from this horror,
and every man who faces death,
will be delivered by his grace.
Branding you for- casualties of war,
killing men, destroying them- this is what's in store.
Dying in your arms- dying breath of men.
Victims of machine guns- people loving them.
Preparing them for death- kill or be killed.
Ending peace for war- let the silence fill.
I cant hide,
from this sin,
say I quit,
then I do it again.
Up above, so much love,
look for it to fill myself.
Down below, I don't know,
where the hell will I go?
Up above, so much love,
where the hell will I go?
Fire breathing barrels- messengers of death,
killing all to kill- leaving nothing left.
Buzzing in your mind- boiling in the sound,
gunshots of the bullet spray mowing them all down.
sleeping death of horror- someone kill me quick,
blood and death and chaos- enough to make me sick.
Up above, so much love,
look for it to fill myself.
Down below, I don't know,
where the hell will I go?
Up above, so much love,
where the hell will I go?
I cant hide,
from this sin,
say I quit,
do it again and again.
Up above, so much love,
look for it to fill myself.
Down below, I don't know,
where the hell will I go?
Up above, so much love,
where the hell will I go?
You've got nothing to live for,
you're fucked for war,
you're a victim
drowning in machine gun fire.
