Lyrics
I've seen and done things I want to forget
I've experienced things that I wish to erase from memory.
I've seen soldiers fall like lumps of meat,
I've witnessed soldiers falling in a gruesome manner.
Blown and shot out beyond belief.
Violently blown and shot beyond belief.
Arms and legs were in the trees.
Body parts scattered in the trees.
I've seen and done things I want to forget
Reiteration of the desire to forget haunting experiences.
Coming from an unearthly place,
Referring to an otherworldly origin.
Longing to see a woman's face
Longing to see a woman's face, possibly for solace.
Instead of the words that gather pace
Prefer to encounter human connection rather than disturbing thoughts.
The words that maketh murder.
Introduction of the central theme - words leading to murder.
These, these, these are the words
Repetition emphasizing the destructive power of certain words.
The words that maketh murder.
-These, these, these are the words
-The words that maketh murder.
-These, these, these are the words
-Murder
Emphasis on the act of murder.
These, these, these are the words
Continued stress on the lethal impact of specific words.
The words that maketh murder.
-These, these, these are the words
-The words that maketh murder.
-I've seen and done things I want to forget
Reiteration of wanting to forget traumatic experiences.
I've seen a corporal whose nerves were shot
Depiction of a corporal with shattered nerves.
Climbing behind the fierce, gone sun,
Describing the corporal in a challenging environment.
I've seen flies swarming everyone,
Flies swarming, symbolizing decay and death.
Soldiers fell like lumps of meat.
Recurrence of soldiers falling gruesomely.
These are the words, the words are these.
Linking the words to the depicted scenes.
Death lingering, stunk,
Introducing the horror and aftermath of death.
Flies swarming everyone,
-Over the whole summit peak,
-Flesh quivering in the heat.
-This was something else again.
-I fear it cannot explain.
-The words that make, the words that make
Repeating the connection between words and murder.
Murder.
-What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
Rhetorical questions about seeking help from the United Nations.
What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
-What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
-What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
-What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
-What if I take my problem to the United Nations?
