Warchild
Warchild: A Gripping Tale of Youthful Sacrifice
Lyrics
When I was a kid they taught me the rules
Reflects on childhood when societal rules were taught.
We did anything they want, we did it like fools
Describes blind conformity, following orders without questioning.
Their book was holy, we learned it by heart
Refers to the indoctrination of religious teachings.
Their holy fight, we had to take part
Speaks of being obligated to participate in a perceived holy war.
Exploited and cheated my life was a mess
Expresses a sense of being exploited and cheated, leading to a chaotic life.
Religion and war, we were possessed
Associates the chaos with the influence of religion and war.
Inspired and brave, out to the field
Shifts to a phase of inspiration and bravery.
So blind that we couldn't see, our destiny was sealed
Highlights ignorance about an inevitable negative outcome.
We tried to fight, fell one by one
Describes a futile attempt at resistance, with casualties.
Disillusion, our belief had gone
Conveys the disillusionment as belief fades.
Exploding shell tore off my legs
Details a physical impact of war, losing limbs to an explosion.
Senses faded by the grenade cracks
Depicts sensory distortion due to the chaos of grenades.
Warchild, Warchild
Introduces the central theme, addressing the protagonist as a "Warchild."
We fought and died for it...we are
Asserts the sacrifice and death in the pursuit of war.
Warchild, Warchild
Reiterates the "Warchild" theme, emphasizing suffering and sacrifice.
We cried and bleeded for it
Highlights emotional pain and physical wounds endured for war.
Wake up now!
Urges awakening, possibly a call to break free from the cycle of war.
