The Navy Song Lyrics

Cover art for The Navy Song lyrics by Billy Talent

I think this song is about relationship between two people but one is out at war.

Time… rolling along with the waves, A thousand miles away Holding you close in the rain, Seems just like yesterday

He is looking at the picture of their lover and remembering the good times.

Lost… hope in a faraway place And in my hand remains, A black and white print of a face, I’ll never see again

He/ doesn't think they are coming back alive but he still holds on to the picture...but he is losing hope

I gave my life to save her The ocean turned to red In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all Cut down like lambs at slaughter, Good men were left for dead In the fall, in the fall, when the tide took them all

He was fighting for his freedom/for his lovers freedom. Maybe he was stationed on a boat and they were attacked and killed. The ocean turned to blood.

Love… served until death do us part, I’m drifting in the dark Wounded and wishing to fall, Into your faithful arms

He is dying and all he wants is to be with his lover.

Beneath the sky of hate, (our world) Beyond the sea of pain, (the war) In heaven I will wait, Until we meet again

He is waiting for her in heaven.
