"It's time to clean these boots Fold up these parachutes"

Soldier?

"Fasten on my mask"

Gas mask?

"I know this work is never finished"

Is it not said that the fight for freedom is never finished?

Just wondering if/how this ties in with going to war.

"Feel the touch of grief You stand in disbelief Can steal the earth from right beneath you"

And perhaps getting news that your boyfriend/husband was KIA...?
