Witchhammer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flowers are growing to honour their names.
Victims of warfare adressed with " NO NAME. "
Thousands of soldiers in pieces, unknown. Did never return to their family homes.
Who's in charge of all those men who died so far from home?
The Government with speeches to honourise the fallen ones?
They worried night'n days and prayed to God: "Please bring him home."
Crises amoung us, the war in the Gulf. Political struggling will always go on.
Turn on the news, it's the same everyday. Killing and fighting, the world is insane!
Who's in charge of all those men who died so far from home?
The Government with speeches to honourise the fallen ones?
Who's in charge of all those parents living all alone?
They worried night'n days and prayed to God: "Please bring him home."
Bound to die. Soldiers. Killing time, fighting for their land.
Hail their flag,proudly. March in lines, guns prepared in hands.
SOLO.
Who's in charge of all those men who died so far from home?
The Government with speeches to honourise the fallen ones?
Who's in charge of all those parents living all alone?
They worried night'n days and prayed to God: "Please bring him home."
Flowers are growing to honour their names.
Thousand of soldiers, adressed with " NO NAME"
Victims of warfare who fought for their flag,
did never return when they fought for their land.
Who's in charge of all those men who died so far from home?
The Government with speeches to honourise the fallen ones?
Who's in charge of all those parents living all alone?
They worried night'n days and prayed to God: "Please bring him home."
Witchhammer's song "No Name" is a tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in wars, particularly those who remain unknown and forgotten. The first stanza of the song talks about the flowers that have bloomed to honor and pay homage to the fallen soldiers. The soldiers were addressed with "No Name" since they died for their country, yet never returned home to their families. The lyrics question who is responsible for the lives of these soldiers and who will bring them back to the loved ones.
The second stanza of the song sheds light on the political struggles in the world where wars and killings are a routine part of life. It criticizes the government for its false speeches and patriotic acts to honor the fallen soldiers while the parents of those soldiers spend sleepless nights just hoping for their safe return. The lyrics question who is responsible for the parents who have lost their children in the war, and who will comfort and bring them the solace they need.
The song "No Name" thus reflects upon the bitter reality of life in war-stricken countries and raises questions on the role of the government and leadership who take such decisions. It also reminds us of the sacrifices of soldiers who gave their lives for their country.
