Far Away Coast Lyrics
Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast
For fear of an atmosphere poisoned deceased
With a gas mask to keep me-from breathing my death
It's American soil I hope for at best
But the duty I serve can't begin to compare
To my ancestors battles and wars throught the years Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell
I pray for my home but still sit here in hell
Sail away to a place that's unkown
taken away from my friends and my home
to a place they call sacred
a place I call hell
I long for that corner I once knew so well
Go to the grind
it's all that I have
Work on and on
with nothing to show
But a graying face
in this dying place
Thats a lock in my solitude
I think of a place on a faraway coast
Where friends are so dear and there's reason to toast
A cloudy image of a
Middle East land
Comes down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts
Sail away to a place that's unkown
taken away from my friends and my home
to a place they call sacred
a place I call hell
I long for that corner I once knew so well
Here in the trenches the fist of the Beast
For fear of an atmosphere poisoned deceased
With a gas mask to keep me-from breathing my death
It's American soil I hope for at best
But the duty I serve can't begin to compare
To my ancestors battles and wars throught the years Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell
I pray for my home but still sit here in hell
Sail away to a place that's unkown
taken away from my friends and my home
to a place they call sacred
a place I call hell
I long for that corner I once knew so well
For fear of an atmosphere poisoned deceased
With a gas mask to keep me-from breathing my death
It's American soil I hope for at best
But the duty I serve can't begin to compare
To my ancestors battles and wars throught the years Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell
I pray for my home but still sit here in hell
taken away from my friends and my home
to a place they call sacred
a place I call hell
I long for that corner I once knew so well
it's all that I have
Work on and on
with nothing to show
But a graying face
in this dying place
Thats a lock in my solitude
I think of a place on a faraway coast
Where friends are so dear and there's reason to toast
A cloudy image of a
Middle East land
Comes down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts
taken away from my friends and my home
to a place they call sacred
a place I call hell
I long for that corner I once knew so well
For fear of an atmosphere poisoned deceased
With a gas mask to keep me-from breathing my death
It's American soil I hope for at best
But the duty I serve can't begin to compare
To my ancestors battles and wars throught the years Though the loneliness strikes like an enemy shell
I pray for my home but still sit here in hell
taken away from my friends and my home
to a place they call sacred
a place I call hell
I long for that corner I once knew so well

I think this a great song, its what our troops over in Afghanistan must be feeling. To be in that country and not knowing what to expect.
Sail away to a place that's unkown taken away from my friends and my home to a place they call sacred a place I call hell I long for that corner I once knew so well
I love this song. So many good lines.
they kick ass more live!!!!
i guess it could mock americas involvment with war, but i think its more aobut the immigration of so many irish into america, looking for jobs that were few and far between "on and on with nothing to show But a graying face in this dying place Thats a lock in my solitude I think of a place on a faraway coast Where friends are dear and there's reason to toast "
DKM actually confirm on their website that it's written about the Middle East.
first gulf war actually
When I first heard it I thought it was the immagration theme until I read the lyrics; especially:" Where friends are so dear and there's reason to toast A cloudy image of a Middle East land Comes down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts " then i was sure it was about Iraq
Middle East the club or the region?
the region the middle east...iraq/kuwait in particular, the first gulf war
