Top Ten Anti-War Metal Songs
This single defines every thing about Metallica, echo -y guitar!, reverb y drums, it's mesmerising.
The music video scared me the first time I saw it.
It's actually historical, so I'm not too sure what it's doing on this list.
This is probably my favorite Megadeth song but I added Holy Wars, too.
Timeless classic, great vox and solo
This song is very underrated.
This was the ultimate anti-Gulf War anthem.
This song is still very relevant at this point, Ukrainian war anyone?
"Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
Left to death with inly friend, alone I clench my gun."
Back to the front
Musically, this is one of my favorite songs from this band - the riff, drumming, etc.
I think this song is anti-Hitler (because the band is German) but it could be about any world leader of this type:
"I will always condemn this
Even with my final breath
God save us from the stupid leaders
Who lead a million souls to death".
A great song about the immorality of weapon industry and how those people deliver weapons to the both sides of a conflict.
"So you'll need some weapons? That's what I'm here for!
Seems you got us a war
AK-47, Tomcat, F-11 hardly ever used, tell me what am I bid? "
"It's all for sale, what's your side? You couldn't say...
No... Doesn't matter anyway"
The lyrics are ambiguous though, but it seems to be anti-war.
A very cool song about the Crusades in a bit of a mocking tone.
"Jerusalem is waiting for you
To rise once again
So we will slaughter in the name of Christ
Holy Father, Holy Father"
The video clip is very poignant, too.
Amazing song
Beautiful song with strong lyrics
