Song lyrics
Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
do just as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bear, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
do just as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
do just as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Back to the front.

Iraq?? I'd rather say WWII and the Hitlerjugend..

"Life planned out before my birth,
nothing could I say had no chance to see myself,
moulded day by day
Looking back I realize,
nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun"


But that's not correct either.

BWAHAHAHA, anyone who thinks it's about Iraq (not Irak or whatever) needs to check the date when this album came out.

I think its about WWII too...Though it fits Hitlerjugend, it may also be something about Stalin's regime...
Great song though

*Chico soldado, Hecho de valor
ahora un caparazon vacio
veintiuno, unico hijo
pero el nos sirve bien
???? pra matar, sin cuidado
hace todo como se lo decimos
acanbado aqui, saludando muerto
el es tuyo para sacarlo

regresa al frente
haras lo que diga, cuando diga
regresa al frente
moriras cuando yo diga, debes morir
regresa al frente

+5 to all simply because this song is fucking addictive. The intro is wonderful and the solo in the mid of the song is just fucking awesome. Metallica is just full of wonderful music in MoP, I mean what OTHER album can top it? NOTHING! MoP is just awesome. This song is NO exception. This song is just so awesome, I almost play it all the time when I hear a crappy song playing.
