Fury In The Slaughterhouse Lyrics

We're dropping bombs down on the kids
We are causing destruction and chaos by dropping bombs on innocent children.

They can't eat bombs
The bombs we drop cannot provide nourishment or sustenance for the children.

And we know this
We are aware that the bombs will not benefit the children, yet we continue to drop them anyway.

But we're doing what we're told
We are blindly following orders, even if we know they are wrong or harmful.

We're flying around in strategic bombers
We are using military aircraft designed for precise attacks on specific targets.

With an afterburner straight to hell
We are racing towards destruction with full force and without hesitation.

Where napalms burning love that smell
We are using napalm, a highly flammable chemical, causing explosive fires and death.

My little girl she sits at home
The singer has a daughter who is at home, safe from the conflict.

With my last letter all alone
The singer has written a final letter to his daughter in case he doesn't return.

She stops to read closes her eyes and then she cries
The daughter is deeply affected by the letter and the possibility of losing her father.

My daddy told me he was proud
The singer's daughter is reminded of her father's love and pride in his service.

My mummy's praying but not too loud
The singer's wife is hoping for her husband's safe return, but is trying to remain strong.

I wonder if the Lord will get the massage clear
The daughter is questioning whether God will hear their prayers and protect her father.

Oh mummy be sure I'll come back
The singer's daughter is reassuring her mother, despite the danger.

In a wooden box all painted black
The singer fears that he will return home in a casket, as is tradition for military funerals.

A bullet between the eyes is all what's left for you
The artist muses on the likelihood of death and violence in the battlefield, with death occurring in moments.

Seven times I've asked my head
The singer has questioned his decisions and beliefs multiple times.

But all I've got is no mans land...no mans land...
Despite his doubts and concerns, the singer is stuck in a place between life and death, a no man's land of war.

And if those generals say: don't worry
Even if military leaders reassure their troops, anxiety and concerns about battle are hard to shake.

Same old assholes same old story
The same military leaders who have orchestrated tragic events in the past are still in charge.

And it's not true...
Despite attempts to quell anxieties and concerns, the danger and reality of war remains true and unchanged.
