Prisoners of War
Prisoners of War: A Haunting Tale of Endless Conflict
Lyrics
We have to fire up the engines, supply them with coal
We are required to activate the engines and fuel them with coal.
And if we get too weak we are burned as fuel
If we become too weak, we are used as fuel ourselves.
I have seen my comrades getting burned down here
The speaker has witnessed their companions being burned in this situation.
Counting my days until it's my turn
The speaker is anticipating their own turn to be burned.
Aboard this flagship
On this leading vessel or prominent entity.
We are prisoners of war
We are captives of war, held against our will.
Used as human resources
Being utilized as mere human resources, disregarding our value.
We haven't come very far
We have made little progress or advancement.
There's no more hope
There is no remaining optimism or expectation.
It's a war without an end
This conflict has no foreseeable conclusion.
A fight against humanity
A battle against the essence of humanity itself.
Nothing more to defend
There is nothing left worth protecting or defending.
We haven't seen the sun for uncountable days
We have been deprived of seeing sunlight for an indefinite duration.
The only light we've seen is the fire of burned bodies
The only brightness witnessed is from the burning of human bodies.
Our skin's stained black by dust and by coal
Our skin is darkened by dust and coal, portraying the harsh conditions.
The smell of burned flesh is present everywhere
The scent of burnt human flesh pervades the environment.
