Question: Can any of you tell what this is about!?
I wrote this, it's really lyrics, but I think that lyrics belong more in the poetry section than the music section!. can you guys tell what its about!?:

Run into the field, see a flash of light in front of you
And you fall down
Ducked behind the corner, there’s a red man to the side of you
He’s on the ground

Hear the sound of the thunder roar, see the lightning flash
Again and again
You just had better watch your back son, or you’ll soon
Turn up dead

Bugles and church bells sound up and down the town
You join the ghostly numbers
Your mother is screaming and weeping beside you as
You are lowered under

The inescapable tragedy of death carried out by
Man on man
Our society breeds incivility, it breeds
Guns in hands

Your death and that of your comrades should show that
This is wrong
Yet this primitive barbarianism will carry on
and on and on and on and on and on and on



oh, and its name is "service"Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Without music it sounds rather unflowing!. Like, it seemes to progress and move nicely, but then you use a word like "barbarianism" that the reader/listener has to stumble over because it breaks the flow!.

You asked what I think its about:
It's about the human condition and man's inhumanity to man!. One act of inhumanity only begats more violence and is perpetuated in a never ending cycle that consumes everything surrounding it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
