A song about men fighting wars endlessly through history. It reminds me of a river I saw in a remote mountainy place in Pakistan (Gomal River). It was said to be the pass used by the army of Alexander and/or the Mongol army, when invading India from Central Asia - today in the mountains, tomorrow the world, the myth that keeps men fighting.
Rivers have marked frontiers since forever. Crossing the river - as in the phrase crossing the Rubicon - is like an irrevocable step.
I think the river can also be the frontier of life and death. It is at least a passage into the unknown, toward an uncertain fate.
