Kyrie
Various Artists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kyrie Eleison, Kyrie Eleison, Kyrie
The Wind Blows Hard Against This
Mountain Side, Across The Sea Into My Soul
It Reaches Into Where I Cannot Hide, Setting My Feet Upon The Road
My Heart Is Old, It Holds My Memories, My Body Burns A Gemlike Flame
Somewhere Between The Soul And Soft
Machine, Is Where I Find Myself Again
Kyrie Eleison, Down The Road That I Must Travel
Kyrie Eleison, Through The Darkness Of The Night
Kyrie Eleison, Where I'm Going Will You Follow
Kyrie Eleison, On A Highway In The Light
When I Was Young I Thought Of Growing
Old, Of What My Life Would Mean To Me
Would I Have Followed Down My Chosen




Road, Or Only Wished What I Could Be
(Chorus Repeats Out...)

그래봤자 늦었어 이젠..
너 병철이 알지? 엄청 심술맞던놈 .
그놈이 가끔 잘놀고 있는 꼬맹이들 불러다가 싸움질 시켰잖아 .
서로 한대씩 때려보라고 말이야.
그럼 이놈들이 처음엔 할수없이 때리는 식으로 하다가
나중엔 진짜로 주먹질을해. 그러다가 아주 원수처럼 싸움질을 하지.

원수라서 싸우는게 아니라.. 싸우다 보니까 원수가 되는거야.. 부모죽고. 형제죽고.
옆에놈 죽어나가니까 그때부터가 진짜 전쟁이지.. 그때부턴 적은 사람이 아니야.
그져 원수고 짐승이고 고깃덩어리지..
그래서 전쟁이란게 끝내기가 어려운거야..
하루 하루 증오가 쌓이거든..
(헛웃음) 진짜... 그놈이 없으니까 말할사람도 없네.

국군: 손들어..!

엿같은전쟁...
