What can I do

About this episode

The episode explores the emotional turmoil and existential questions arising from the horrors of war.

Verse 1: What can I do when war burns deep inside, With flashes searing all the living things? When soil is torn and there is nowhere to hide, And every night my painful howling rings? What can I do when words are like a blast? When through the heart the hopeless threads are sewn, And in the dirt, my final shadow cast, I lie and wait, for death is all I’ve known? Chorus: The rockets fly and hit the mark, The bunker burns, the mines explode. The cruiser’s stuck, the sky is dark, The tanks have stalled upon the road. No enemies – we’re not at war. Then why the wounds that never mend? Deep in the soul, the gloom and roar. Love’s dead in rags at journey's end. Verse 2: What can I do with only bullets two, When in the trench it’s only you and me? I cannot shoot myself, and nor can you, For we were killed by battle, don’t you see? What can I do when we can’t hold the knife, To cut away the rot that makes us die? To cut the pain, the lies, the bitter strife, And all that brings the memories to the eye? Chorus: The rockets fly and hit the mark, The bunker burns, the mines explode. The cruiser’s stuck, the sky is dark, The tanks have stalled upon the road. No enemies – we’re not at war…
