Lyrics
On a September morning
Setting the scene on a September morning
I walk through fields of pain
Walking through a metaphorical landscape of suffering
The cities are burning
Observing cities in flames
And the smoke is rising through the rain
Smoke rising amidst the rain
The dragon tears of a child
Depicting the sorrow of a child
In the war her father died
Her father's death in war
Rivers of blood
Symbolizing the horrors of war with rivers of blood
Shows no pride
Highlighting the lack of honor or dignity in this bloodshed
Rivers of blood
Emphasizing the suffering of children
The children cry
Children crying due to the devastation
Rivers of blood
Continuation of the imagery of blood-filled battlefields
On the battlefield
Describing the scene of bloodshed on the battlefield
Rivers of blood
Implying the irreparable damage to souls
Souls can't be healed
On a September evening
Transitioning to a September evening
The moon is the only light
Describing the moon as the only source of light, possibly symbolizing hope in darkness
Silence is everywhere
Emphasizing a pervasive silence, suggesting desolation
And i know this is my last night
Hinting at an impending sense of doom or finality
The suffering of a lonely wife
Portraying the anguish of a woman who lost her family in war
In the war her children died
Her children's tragic death in the conflict
Rivers of blood
Reiteration of the metaphor of blood-filled scenes devoid of pride
Shows no pride
Continued emphasis on the lack of dignity in this bloodshed
Rivers of blood
Further highlighting the sorrow of children in this context
The children cry
Children's anguish and tears due to the ongoing conflict
Rivers of blood
Recurring mention of blood-soaked battlefields
On the baitlefield
Emphasizing the inability to heal the souls affected by this turmoil
Rivers of blood
Souls can't be healed
-Oh lord is that your will
Possibly questioning the will of a higher power in allowing such suffering
Oh lord that's what you call charity
Sarcastically questioning whether this suffering is considered a form of charity by a higher authority
