Ride Across the River
Ride Across the River: A Soldier's Journey for Freedom
Lyrics
I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of man
I am a soldier dedicated to the cause of freedom in the service of humanity.
Oh, we are the chosen, we're the partisan (alright)
We consider ourselves the chosen ones, the supporters of a particular cause (expressed with enthusiasm).
Well the cause it is noble and the cause it is just
The cause we are fighting for is noble and just.
We are ready to pay with our lives if we must
We are prepared to sacrifice our lives for this noble and just cause.
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
We are embarking on a journey, symbolized by riding across a deep and wide river.
Ride across the river to the other side
This journey involves crossing the river to reach the other side, signifying a significant endeavor or challenge.
And I'm a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war
Now portraying a different role, I am a soldier of fortune and a participant in the brutal reality of war.
And we don't give a damn who the killing is for
We are indifferent to who the killing is done for; a commentary on the indiscriminate nature of war.
It's the same old story with a different name
Highlighting the repetitive nature of conflicts, regardless of different names or justifications.
Death or glory, it's the killing game
Expressing the inevitability of a choice between death and glory in the deadly game of war.
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Reiterating the journey across the river, emphasizing its significance in the context of the narrative.
Ride across the river to the other side
Continuation of the journey across the river, underscoring its importance and challenge.
Oh, nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night
Nothing can impede their progress, drawing parallels with the certainty of day following night.
Right becomes wrong, the left becomes the right
Moral values become inverted in the chaos of war, where right turns wrong, and left becomes right.
And they sing as they march with their flags unfurled
Describing the march of soldiers with flags, symbolizing a patriotic display even in the face of uncertainty.
Today in the mountains, tomorrow the world
Conveying the expansionist ambition, moving from today's conquest in the mountains to the aspiration for global dominance tomorrow.
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Reiteration of the intent to ride across the river, emphasizing the determination to face challenges head-on.
Ride across the river to the other side
Continued commitment to crossing the river and confronting whatever lies on the other side.
Gonna ride across the river deep and wide
Reaffirmation of the resolve to ride across the river, highlighting the persistence in the face of obstacles.
Ride across the river to the other side
Final emphasis on the journey across the river, echoing the determination to reach the other side.
