UDO - They Want War

 

 THEY  WANT  WAR

En este año que los alemanes Accept van a celebrar sus cinco décadas en la escena metálica, se antoja dificil o imposible desligar a la banda del nombre de Udo, a pesar de que haya estado más tiempo ausente del grupo que inmerso en él, desde luego las páginas más gloriosas de la banda han coincidido con la presencia del cantante en la banda. En 1987 separaban por vez primera sus caminos, el ansia de volar en solitario comenzaba ya para UDO con la creación de su propia banda y su primer intento "Animal House" del citado 1987 resultaba ser toda una declaración de intenciones además de un debut absolutamente notable. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog otra de las canciones de ese album, concretamente "They want war" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

They are young and they’re kids and believe what they see
To do what they’ve been told
And so they walk away with open eyes

Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly, and no one knows
Who they are, they’re smaller than the gun they load

See their eyes open wide
They died before they ever cried

They die in the streets and they die in the fields
When they do what they’ve been told
But now they’re lying dead
Their eyes are closed

Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly and no one knows
Who they are, they’re smaller than the gun they load

See their eyes open wide
They died before they ever cried
Who taught them how, how to pray
Who told them they’re in paradise when they’re gonna die

They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war
They are blind and they can’t fight
They want war! Yeah

(They are blind and they can’t fight)
(They want war)

(...)

You’re gonna pay the price
You little devil in disguise
For taking life with no regard
You’ll go to hell and there you’ll burn
Children in the battlefield, please don’t go
Little birds with fluttering hearts, please don’t go
