Terminate
Avenger of Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The jungle breathes with fear
Constant loss of life
Hear the walking dead
M14 in hand
I crouch in pouring rain
Senses overloading
Will this nightmare be in vain?
The tortures of the mind
A raging war within
I won't know I'm alive
Until the firefight begins
(Chorus:)
Avenger of Blood's song Terminate paints a vivid picture of the horrors of war, specifically the experience of soldiers during the Vietnam War. The first verse describes the tense atmosphere in the jungle, where death could come at any moment. The use of personification, with the jungle "breathing with fear," emphasizes the sense of danger and inhumanity surrounding the conflict. The soldier's anxiety is further conveyed through the intense sensory experience of the rain and walking dead.
The second verse delves deeper into the psychological toll that war takes on soldiers. The brutality of war not only involves the physical threat of enemies, but also brings about a mental strain that leads to a "raging war within." The soldier's sense of purpose is tied to the violent action of fighting, with the final line of the verse suggesting that the only way to feel alive is to be engaged in such conflict. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, emphasizes the idea of termination - the need to end the war and the horrors that come along with it.
