Relax, we'll soon be returning
You know we'll get sufficient funding
Now I enlist as a voluntary soldier
When I go out I've become a father
It was night and it became day and night again
I wrote letter after letter but never got one back
half a year with shots and open wounds
half a year! God, how time goes slow
Thank God for the medical corps
Cos they sew together recruits and generals
The day came and I waited for a signal
And I got my last order from the highest in command
And he yelled;
170 go out and see if it is clear!
No, general, spare me. It's easy for you to send in a
voluntary soldier
But who'll take care of my wife and my child?
170 is it clear, is it clear?
170 we're waiting for a response
As junkboot said, this song is about a volunteer soldier fighting in world war II. He enlists and finds out he's a father, just then he is called to battle, contacts home with no responce and after a long time of combat, bleeding, torment and suffering he still receives no responce. He is ordered to scout out in the battle but he asks the general if he could use a voulenteer, it would be easy, as he is wounded and fears dying before ever seeing his child. He is sent out anyways and this time it is him who makes no responce to the army.
