Evil Antonius Speaks

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

[Chorus:]
     Soldier boy, made of clay
     now an empty shell
     twenty one, only son
     but he served us well
     Bred to kill, not to care
     just do as we say
     finished here, Greeting Death
     he's yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
     you coward
     you servant
     you blindman
[End Chorus]

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

[Chorus]

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, moulded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my [sword]

[Chorus]

Back to the front.

The above is a song by Metallica called "Disposable Heroes". It appeared as the fifth track on their Master of Puppets album (1986) . It is used here as a nightmare shared by the group to represent the "evil Antonius".
