about

On leave, a soldier attempts to numb himself to what he has witnessed and the horrors of his immediate future. Which war is this? The same war. Out of its 243 years of history, the United States has enjoyed only 17 years without being at war with another country or with itself, leading to the deaths of almost 1,500,000 combatants and non-combatants. The land of the free is a slaughterhouse of the brave.

lyrics

An Evening © 2020 Ambiguous

He smokes a cigarette and has another drink
He sways intoxicated, eyelids slowly blink
Alcohol recalls the memory
Of a foreign city in flames

Paper lanterns brighten Chinatown
A woman sings a melody from far away
A ship waits in the harbor
To take him back to the war

She says she wants to dance
And wears a long string of pearls
She bends to say hello

All the lights wink out across the bay
Is he now in Shanghai or the USA?
Tokyo, Pusan, Bangkok
Saigon or Taipei?

She senses his desire
But she sees that his eyes are very far away
Away
