| Dispatch – The General Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| When Turnus is about to drag his soldiers to a hopeless war against the Trojans who were destined to find Rome on his soil, everyone tells him to fight along because they won't fight with him. After a long debate, Turnus convinces the soldiers that they must fight for honor, no matter how hopeless. When about to go into war Turnus tells his men to retreat and fights Aeneas, eventual founder of Rome, one on one sending his men to safety. Turnus dies, which is also implied in the song. Turnus is displayed as a villan and evil (just like war to the members of dispatch) but true honor stems from fighting your own battles. Perhaps DIspatch is claiming that if the rich and powerful want to start wars, the greatest honor would to fight it for themselves, like the General in this song. | |
