lyrics

"I´ve come to terms
Maybe i really deserved the hardest thing to learn:
That one has to give his life to pull the enemy on his side.

It took me years to realise
That i spent ten years of my life
To watch my friends ears fall off
To starve my way out of my mind

It took me years to realise
That i cant take all the guilt
Of a generation lost in fear and fraud
That i was just a little drop
Caught in a river raging six feet under the ground"

_____________________

This one is written in quotation marks as it is trying to express what I think my grandfather might have thought about the time he spent in war and as a prisoner of war in russia. I spent quite some time together with him telling me about his expieriences and his regrets from the time of second world war. This song does not want to make any excuses for my grandfather for participating in that horrible war. It is simply a way to encounter this difficult time on a personal basis. This is a very important thing to do for me, as the generation of witnesses is about to pass away . Just to mention: we are antifacist, antiracist and against all forms of war.
