| Metallica – Harvester Of Sorrow Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
My life suffocates Planting seeds of hate I’ve loved, turned to hate Trapped far beyond my fate I give, you take This life that I forsake Been cheated of my youth You turned this lie to truth ( Uncle Sam is the Harvester of sorrow. This song is about the typical young American soldier mislead to go to the middle East to fight for Freedom. The soldier realizes that the war has nothing to do with freedom, was needlessly cheated of his youth and recognizes all that wad achieved is destruction and fuelling terrorism-planting seeds of hate.) Pure black, looking clear My work is done soon here Try getting back to me Get back which used to be Drink up Shoot in Let the beatings begin Distributor of pain Your loss becomes my gain ( The soldier's mission is almost over and realizes he can't get back his innocence, get back which used to be. He resorts to drugs and alcohol.) All have said their prayers Invade their nightmares To see into my eyes You’ll find where murder lies Infanticide ( The soldier suffers PTSD and has nightmares as he remembers the war crimes ) Anger Misery You’ll suffer unto me ( He feels anger and has thoughts of revenge against the government.) Harvester of sorrow Language of the mad ( Indeed, the Harvester of sorrow speaks the language of the mad ) |
