Voluntary Slaves Lyrics

Album: IV

A soft touch of winter sun awakens me

 Only memories of my warm home

 Pierce through my frozen body.

 None of us know where we’ll be laying down

 Maybe for our last sleep.

 I can hear the sound of poisoned bullets coming from a far.

 I’m embracing the cold ground, as I would a strange lover.

 Screams of suffering along our line, maybe one of my friends

 Won’t see sunlight anymore.

 I go back and watch the battlefield.

 We hoped for so long

 That we’ll all go back home one day.

 Mother, I’m not your little son anymore,

 I grew painfully fast,

 Not long ago I was still in school,

 Now I’m dragging my weary body in the mud of flesh.
