Cover art for Scream Aim Fire lyrics by Bullet for My Valentine

the song is about World War One, the battle of the Somme. 'Over the top' is referring to going up and over the trenches to battle. It is described so brutefully because the battle of the Somme was the bloodiest battle in the whole of WWI.
