Insired by "Jungle Soldier" by Freddie Spencer Chapman about the guerrillas he fought with behind Japanese lines in Malaya in WWII.

lyrics

The Village

In the village in the forest, they’re gathering their forces
To march against the soldiers, who killed family and friends
Young girls preparing rations, old women tearing bandages
Others cleaning weapons, mothers, daughters, wives
They are fighting for the hatred, fighting for the anger
Fighting for their manhood, they are fighting for their lives

Every enemy they slaughter, will bring a retribution
They don’t care about the consequence, they have clarity of mind
They plan to blow up bridges, set fire to trucks and wagons
Bring chaos to the barracks, bring down the dogs of war
They are fighting for the hatred, they’re fighting for the anger
Fighting for their manhood, they are fighting for their lives

The enemy lies waiting, he knows of their intentions
Caught in a deadly crossfire, they melt back into the night
The stragglers are returning, no expression on their faces
Was it traitor or coincidence that tore their hopes away?
They are fighting for the hatred, fighting for the anger
Fighting for their manhood, they are fighting for their lives

They know the retribution will not be slow in coming
Another burned out clearing, where a village used to be
