*System of a Down

Welcome to the Soldier Side, where there's no one here but me.
People all grow up to die, there is no one here but me.

Dead man lying on the bottom of the grave
wondering when Savior comes is he gonna be saved.

Maybe you're a sinner into your alternate life,
maybe you're a joker, maybe you deserve to die.

They were crying when their sons left, God is wearing black.
He's gone so far to find no hope, he's never coming back.

They were crying when their sons left, all young men must go.
He's come so far to find the truth, he's never going home.

Young men standing on the top of their own graves
Wondering when Jesus comes, are they gonna be saved.

Cruelty to the winner, Bishop tells the King his lies.
Maybe you're a mourner, maybe you deserve to die.

They were crying when their sons left, God is wearing black.
He's gone so far to find no hope, he's never coming back.

They were crying when their sons left, all young men must go.
He's come so far to find no truth, he's never going home.

Welcome to the Soldier Side, where there's no one here but me.
People all grow up to die, there is no one here but me.

Welcome to the Soldier Side, there is no one here but me.
People on the soldier's side, there is no one here but me.

System of a Down es una banda de metal alternativo de ascendencia armenia formada en California en el año 1995. En un comienzo se llamaron Soil, pero luego adoptaron el nombre "System of a Down" inspirados por el poema Victims of a Down escrito por el guitarrista Daron Malakian. Son famosos por realizar canciones en cuyas letras se manifiestan en contra del maltrato infantil, la violencia, la guerra, la pornografía violenta y machista, el predominio de los intereses materialistas en la sociedad, las desigualdades sociales, físicas e ideológicas, la intolerancia o la discriminación entre otros. Fue elegida mejor banda alternativa del año 2005 en los MTV Europe Music Awards celebrados en Lisboa.
