Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mount a burial ground
When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die
God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy shall be done... on earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive
But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
I think it can be assumed to mean one of the desert wars (The desert sand mount a burial ground).

UNLEASH THE GUAN
Aces High is about the Battle Of Britian during the Second World War. An arial battle to stop the lufwaifer (German Airforce) from invading and destroying London.
Or something like that. It has nothing to do with American history.
If ya'll want songs 'bout American history, ya'll best be lookin' at folk songs, protest songs from the 60's or Public Enemy, NWA or any other Old School gangster rap albums from the mid 80s.
Metal has very little to do with the History of Nation and more with allagory and mythology.

UNLEASH THE GUAN
Amazingly enough, according to Ozzy and other members of Black Sabbath at the time, War Pigs isn't 'bout the Vietnam War like many people think but is an allagory for the political mis-dealing that brought forth the likes of Hitler, Franco and Stalin and a general statement on the evils of war. The Sabbath boys really knew shit all 'bout the Vietnam War back in merry-old-England in the 1960s.
