This classic heavy metal band has some very sad songs. * "Paschendale". The battle it talks about is bad enough, but this magnificent song both makes you angry and brings a tear in your eye. "Rust your bullets with his tears/Let me tell you 'bout his years." * The lyrics of this song are absolutely devastating. The closest thing it has to a chorus is the refrain of "home far away, from the war, a chance to live again." This is then repeated but with minor changes, "home far away, but the war, no chance to live again." There's also a poignant section between the solos - "the sound of guns can't hide the shame, and so we die at Paschendale." This suggests that the trauma of having to kill another human being has emotionally "killed" these men whether or not they survive the battle. Fin
