“Young Men Dead” is about a leader getting his men to commit a massacre under the guise (even to himself) of fighting a legitimate enemy, his men begin to doubt his leadership but he assures them of the necessity of their actions and that their doubts could lead them astray.
[Chorus]
Fire for the hills, pick up your feet and let's go
Head for the hills, pick up steel on your way
And when you find a piece of them in your sight
Fire at will, don't you waste no time
[Verse 1]
Another thought of the unaware
Addiction in disguise
With a drop of blood
You will take them out for me
[Chorus]
Fire from the hills, pick up speed and let's go
Fire for real, yeah, shoot to kill with no aim
Head for the hills, yes, eyes on the camp fire glow
Creep up there like a white mink hiding in snow
[Verse 2]
And out of the black a figure forms
A soldier in the sky
With a drop of love
Trying to set you free
[Chorus]
Run for the hills, pick up your feet and let's go
We did our jobs, pick up speed now lets move
The trees can't grow without the sun in their eyes
And we can't live if we're too afraid to die
Hold on tight, yes, hold on tight you're too slow
Fire at the breeze that blows these thoughts through our mind
Hire only thieves to steal the thoughts from our heads
