Im in the Marines and about to spend another Christmas in Iraq. This time i'm not in Falluja but i did spend one Christmas there in 2004 after the assualt. The song has personal meaning for me.
(I'm fading from your memory
so I'm just as good as dead)
Whether hes referring to the American public or our individual families back home i'm not sure. But it reminded me of first time i went home and my little brother didn't recognize me.
The feeling you get from the song is that we're here as a conquering force not liberators.
(We are the armies of the empire
We are the legionnaires of Rome )
and that we will never accomplish what we set out to do.
(there is no justice in the desert
Because there is no God in Hell )
Either way we (the soldiers and Marines) will do whatever is asked of us until we come home and we won't question the motivation behind the orders.
(It's Evening In the Desert
I'm Tired and I'm cold
But I am just a solider
I do what I am told)
(But there's a sea of blood in Baghdad
A sea of oil in the sand)
