BBodies 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 till 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. Greetings, 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 blind man Barking of machine-gun fire does nothing to me now Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow More a man, more stripes you wear, 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. Greetings, 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 blind man 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 Just do as we say Finished here. Greetings, 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 blind man Back to the front |

1 posts | Positively brilliant Metallica song. It's my second favorite out of all right behind Sanitarium.
For those of you wondering about the lyrics, Hetfield has previously stated that this song is about WWI, not WWII. During the war both sides would attempt to charge across no-man's land and take the opposing trench. Due to machine gun fire and artillery this was almost never successful. An order to go "over the top" (of your trench) was basically a death sentence. |

91 posts | +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.

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

2 posts | 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. |
