| Metallica – For Whom The Bell Tolls Lyrics | 22 years ago |

This song I've always understood to mean about the insanity of war. Obviously the title came from Hemingway. After reading the book, it would seem clear that the band members have read it too. In the book, you read of the moment that everything goes quiet, just before all hell breaks loose (hears the silence so loud) There is talk of defending a hill, and there is mention of the stiffening wounds suffered in battle. Near the end, the book's protagonist (the American whose name I forget) looks up to the sky while he is alone, dying. Yes, war is insane. But sometimes, folks, war is justified. God bless America in her fight against terrorism. JR |
