The Commanded Lyrics
I felt the ground start to shake.
Oh God, oh God,
Everything's up in flames.
I prayed that it would have ended
Just as fast, just as fast as it came.
All I could hear was:
"March on, march on.
Quick on your feet,
March on, march on.
March on, march on.
Whether you like or not,
March on, march on!"
(Finish what you started.
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
Heads will roll, bullets will fly.
We've all been turned
Into bloody thirsty cannibals.
Just don't close your eyes!
Just don't close eyes,
Sleep with one open!
Everything's put into perspective
When you're staring down
The barrel of a gun.
I've come to peace with the fact
That I can't take it back,
What's done is done!
But the bodies still haunt my dreams,
Oh, the bodies still haunt my dreams.
The bodies still haunt my dreams
And they always will!
"March on, march on.
March on, march on.
Quick on your feet!"
(Finish what you started.
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
(Finish what you started.
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
How many of them will be forgotten,
Laying a part of the ashes?
No words can describe the guilt,
But I had no choice!
We were surrounded,
No words can describe.
We were surrounded, I had no choice.
Words can't describe
The guilt that I felt,
But I had no choice.
(Finish what you started.
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
(Finish what you started.
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
How many of them will be forgotten,
Laying among of the ashes?
Oh God, oh God,
Everything's up in flames.
I prayed that it would have ended
Just as fast, just as fast as it came.
"March on, march on.
Quick on your feet,
March on, march on.
March on, march on.
Whether you like or not,
March on, march on!"
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
We've all been turned
Into bloody thirsty cannibals.
Just don't close your eyes!
Sleep with one open!
When you're staring down
The barrel of a gun.
I've come to peace with the fact
That I can't take it back,
What's done is done!
Oh, the bodies still haunt my dreams.
The bodies still haunt my dreams
And they always will!
March on, march on.
Quick on your feet!"
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
Laying a part of the ashes?
No words can describe the guilt,
But I had no choice!
No words can describe.
We were surrounded, I had no choice.
Words can't describe
The guilt that I felt,
But I had no choice.
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
Just remember
You can't bring them back,
Just remember
You can't bring them back.)
Laying among of the ashes?

I think this is the song about soldiers in war. Someone was in war, and they are describing what it was like and how he will never forget the bodies, remembering being commanded "March on, March on", shooting whatever feels like a threat, knowing that when you shoot them you shoot to kill and they are gone forever, and basically just regretting all of it and feeling guilty wondering how many of them died for nothing and how no one may remember them.
I think this song is clearly about guilt but there are obvious "MacBeth" by Shakespeare references like when he says "whats done is done" and "no words could describe the guilt but i had no choice". If you have read macbeth this song has clear references to it, if not then this is a solid metal song about guilt, envy and changing the past.
This song is pretty clearly about being a survivor in the zombie apocalypse. The first verse is about the apocalypse coming, and he wish he died like all the others. the verse "Heads will roll, bullets will fly. We've all been turned Into bloody thirsty cannibals. Just don't close your eyes!" makes it really obvious that its about zombies. This song is amazing, and among my favorite heavy songs at the moment.
