whether is the great war ww2 or present wars, the message in this song is the same for every generation. When we are over there, we wish we were home.

@stevie007b If it is about the uprising of 1916, why does he say "it's American soil I hope for at best"? I mean, why would an Irish rebel, fighting for Irish independence want to be buried in America? Just curious.

BTW: more evidence for this song being about the first iraq war: 'the cloudy image of a MIDDLE EAST MAN, comes down and breaks my hopeful thoughts [of returning home to america]. Furthermore : "A place they call sacred, a place i call hell" - the Muslims over there consider much of that land to be 'sacred' in one way or another, i'm sure. I don't think anyone ever considered that strip of land between france and germany 'sacred.'

'in the trenches' is a common phrase still used today. Likewise, I don't think he is referring to a literal 'fist of the beast.' And guess what, all u haters, that madman Sadam Hussein actually is the first muthafucka to use mustard gas since WWI - he used that and nerve gas and a cocktail of other EVIL chemicals on the kurds. He did not, thank G-d, use it on our troops, because he was afraid of the consequences, but our boys DID have to be prepared to slap that mask gas on at any moment...



just so you know this song has absolutly nothing to do with ireland

yes I know, and my friend knows too, but it was just a mere musical choice; we love DKM so we just exploited the opportunity to use one of their songs in a school project.
