Lyrics
English: "We were young boys in old men's bodies / Beheaded but still alive / Baptized in foreign blood / Dead for sure before we died / Darkness fulfilled the yearning dreams / They slipped the sucking baby from the breast Rolling in, straight ahead, the chasm just in front of me / Streaming flames, a thousand suns, the sky is full of greed / Bellowing bombs pick up the slick, there is no place like war / The cannons spurt, the angels cry, staring down the hallowed ground / Surrounded by the goddamn brute, a war you never understood / Receiving fire from the western side / No time to breathe, no warning signs / Condemned for all eternity / Don't want to die in bits and pieces / The fire destroys, but darkness remains / Into the open eyes of the living dead / Waldo and Pigpen / Waldo and Pigpen / Their diaries painted in blood / Waldo and Pigpen / Waldo and Pigpen / Revived from crimson mud"
