Leave The Bodies Where They Lay
Survival's Struggle: Navigating Life's Desperate Journey
Lyrics
Leave the bodies where they lay
Expressing a directive to leave the deceased in their current location.
Save your strength for the living
Encouraging preservation of energy for the living rather than focusing on the deceased.
We'll be back along this road someday
Anticipating a return to the same path in the future.
If the land is willing
Suggesting a willingness of the land to allow their return.
We need to keep on moving
Emphasizing the need to continue forward.
For there's water to find
Highlighting the quest for water as a crucial objective.
Many lives are relying on us
Stressing the responsibility towards others who depend on them for survival.
More than these few we leave behind
Acknowledging the significance of those left behind.
Hit the road and don't look behind
Instructing to depart without dwelling on the deceased.
The dead won't see you go
Assuring that the deceased won't perceive the departure.
Steel yourselves, men and women
Calling for mental preparation for an uncertain journey.
For our journey is unknown
Acknowledging the unpredictability of the upcoming expedition.
Forget your home and everything you once loved
Advising to let go of attachments to home and past affections.
Finding water is our only goal
Emphasizing the sole focus on finding water as a primary objective.
Pray to any god you think is above
Suggesting a plea to higher powers for assistance in the quest.
Ask them not to call you home
Asking for a reprieve from being called back to one's origin or home.
We are not savages
Affirming a distinction from savagery despite challenging circumstances.
We're just trying to survive
Clarifying the intent to survive without resorting to savagery.
We are not savages
Reiterating the rejection of the label 'savages' while striving to survive.
We're just trying to survive
Emphasizing the survival motive and disavowing savagery.
We are not savages
Repeating the declaration that they are not savages but survivors.
We're just trying to survive
Affirming the primary goal of survival in challenging circumstances.
