Stronghold

E mais um. Estou em crer que, nos idos de 2004, numa qualquer entrevista ou artigo sobre o lançamento do disco, a banda referiu que esta música era sobre a Guerra Colonial. Uma espécie de reconhecimento e homenagem aos combatentes. Porém, confesso que não tenho a certeza disso. Posso bem estar enganado. Seja como for, a letra é suficientemente ampla para abranger praticamente qualquer conflito armado, pelo que optei pela mais matricial Segunda Guerra Mundial.



The hill is guarded by a nest
Six machine guns blazing all around
In a ray of a thousand yards
The sound of corpses hits the ground
The battle rages
"Charlie" company is crumbling down
A bloodbath under the sun

No glory in our eyes
Only guilt
We're lost forever
Praying the end is near

We've heard it all before
We've come to save the world
But still we're insecure
About the coming storm
We feel like we're all stay
Is there a chance to save the day?
For men will die this way
With the coming storm

We took over the hill at dawn
Suffered losses but
The airfield's overrunned
There's no will
The job is done

The trees that breed the air
Smell our blood
We're lost forever
Praying the end is near

We've heard it all before
We've come to save the world
But still we're unsecured
About the coming storm
We feel like we're all stay
Is there a chance to save the day?
For men will die this way
With the coming storm

We've heard it all...

We've heard it all before
We've come to save the world
But still we're unsecured about...
