Tears of the Dead
Echoes of Regret: Unveiling the Haunting Past in 'Tears of the Dead'
Lyrics
Hideous crimes, atrocities
Refers to extremely horrifying acts, terrible deeds, and inhuman actions.
The slaughter of millions - beyond belief
Mass killings of an unimaginable scale, too shocking to comprehend.
Those were dark times, so different from now
Those times were notably grim, contrasting significantly with the present.
The law of evil ruled our fatherland
An era where wickedness and malevolence governed the native land.
I was but a pawn in their game
The speaker was merely a tool or insignificant participant in their scheme.
Why should I feel any guilt?
Questioning the necessity to feel any remorse or culpability.
Still when I close, close my eyes
Despite attempts to forget, memories resurface when shutting one's eyes.
The words unfold, it all comes back
Recollections and details emerge vividly, replaying the past.
I can't defy it, can't deny it
Feeling unable to oppose or refute the truth of the situation.
I know it to be true
Acknowledging the reality of the situation despite reluctance.
In my sleep, they come to haunt me
Haunted by these memories even during sleep.
They know it to be true
Others are aware and acknowledge the truth of the speaker's actions.
Tears of the dead
The sorrowful manifestation of grief from those who lost their lives.
We are all on the turning wheel of fate
Expressing the idea that everyone experiences the unpredictable nature of destiny.
A young man, standing proud in uniform
A young individual, proudly dressed in a uniform.
I never stopped to hesitate
Without pausing or considering, acting swiftly.
Until it was far to late
Realizing the consequences only after it's too late.
My hands are soiled, covered in blood
Hands tainted and marked by the shedding of blood.
Stains that never wash away
The indelible marks of guilt that cannot be erased.
Their hollow eyes
Eyes devoid of life and emotion, accusing the speaker.
Confronting me, judging me
Being confronted and judged by the dead for their actions.
Now an old man, at the end of my days
An elderly individual nearing the conclusion of life.
Contemplating - My life of sin
Pondering and reflecting on a life filled with wrongdoing.
Living is never simple - the rosad is hard
Emphasizing the complexity and challenges faced in life's journey.
I had no say - just a puppet in a sick play
Being coerced or manipulated without autonomy in a distressing situation.
