Lyrics
Twisted minds that work as one,
Reference to a group of twisted minds working together.
They plot your destiny.
They are planning and controlling your fate.
You stand and watch your only son,
Observing your only son.
Deprived of dignity.
Your son is being deprived of dignity.
Contempt and hatred all you feel,
Feelings of contempt and hatred.
Devoted loyalty.
Despite the negative feelings, there is devoted loyalty.
A wound you know will never heal.
A wound that will never heal.
Doubting integrity.
Doubt in the integrity of the situation.
You sent him out to pay the price.
Sending your son to face consequences.
Did what you thought was best.
Believing it is the best course of action.
You sent him out to be a man.
Sending him to become a man, almost leading to death.
Almost laid to rest.
Close to being laid to rest.
Unseen powers that deal the cards,
Reference to unseen powers determining fate.
Faceless homocide.
Faceless homicide orchestrated by these powers.
A bitter rage you can't reveal,
A deep, unexpressed rage due to pride.
Because of stupid pride.
Pride preventing the open expression of anger.
What you want ain't always good for you.
Desire may not align with what is good for you.
It;s just the way the balance swings for you,
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of life's balance.
Balance swings for you.
Emphasizing the swinging nature of life's balance.
Have no conscience, feel no pain,
People without conscience or empathy.
All you need's a flag.
A symbol (flag) being the only requirement.
No glory now, the switch is made,
No glory in the current situation, just a shift to death.
Uniform to body bag.
Transition from uniform to a body bag.
But after all, did you see the truth?
Raising the question of whether the truth was recognized.
Find the real war?
Searching for the genuine purpose of war.
What you want ain't always good for you.
Desire may not align with what is good for you (reiteration).
No cause worth dying for.
No cause justifies the sacrifice of life.
What you want...
Repetition of the idea that desire may not be beneficial.
