Everlast - "Letters Home From The Garden Of Stone"
По-моему, одна из лучших антивоенных вещей в истории музыки. Потрясающие гитарные рифы, уместные вкрапления ближневосточных мотивов и гениально простецкая лирика. Вместо дальнейшего разбрызгивания нескончаемого потока комплиментов просто приведу отзыв парня, пишущего на одном музыкальном форуме под ником Jared, который не понаслышке знаком с последними военными операциями американцев в Афгане и Ираке:
"amazing song….i lock up everythime i hear it…i have been to iraq twice and afghanistan 3 times…i am going back over again in a few months…this song hits the nail on the head………not sure how he wrote it……..the same thoughts go through my head every time i go out on mission…..again…..amazing"
Sittin' restless under the moonlight
I know I'm getting ready to kill
They say we're going in with the day light
I don't want to but I will...
'Cause I won't know the man that kills me
And I don't know thes men I kill
I thank God for my salvation
Wash away the blood I spill
I try not to think about my family
'Cause it's a little too much to take
Out here I got me and I got my buddy
We can't afford even one mistake
I started writing on dirty cardboards...
It's the only paper I could find
Tell everyone I got their letters,
Tell everyone I'm doing fine
Late at night when I can dream I...
I think about life back in the world
[ Letters Home From The Garden Of Stone lyrics from

I miss you and dad, I miss sister Sarah
I miss my wife and my baby girl
Pray for me... pray for my soul Ma
Pray for me and all my sins
They say I got a job to do now
I'll be back when it finally ends
Do you think I should be fighting?
Ma; are you proud are you ashamed?
Really I'm trying to do the right thing
I hope my Government can say the same thing
'Cause I won't know the man that kills me
And I don't know these men I kill
We all wind upon the same side
'Cause ain't none of us doin' God's Will
