The night erupts with the sound of small arms fire
Tracer rounds snake through the air
Signal flares fly toward the sky
Prepare yourself for another assault
I raise my gun and let lead fly
Living the horrors of war
Mow 'em down left to right
I've tasted blood now I want more
Screams of pain echo through the night
As bullets find their targets
Mercilessly ripping through your flesh
Spraying intestines and bone all around
I raise my gun and let lead fly
Living the horrors of war
Mow 'em down left to right
I've tasted blood now I want more
Into our trench they fall
The combat goes hand to hand
In a killing frenzy I split someone's head
Comrade or enemy I just don't care
Tracer rounds snake through the air
Signal flares fly toward the sky
Prepare yourself for another assault
Living the horrors of war
Mow 'em down left to right
I've tasted blood now I want more
As bullets find their targets
Mercilessly ripping through your flesh
Spraying intestines and bone all around
Living the horrors of war
Mow 'em down left to right
I've tasted blood now I want more
The combat goes hand to hand
In a killing frenzy I split someone's head
Comrade or enemy I just don't care

This song is basically about a soldier who's getting screwed up in the head by the war he's fighting, all the hideous stuff he sees is driving him insane.
I don't think it's just insanity, but a mental callous formed, without which the mind would collapse in on itself.
