The song itself was lost on me as I don't understand the language, but the imagery and text were quite evocative. Yet, with these kinds of things, I try to remind myself that the perpetrators of these horrors are long gone. The important part is to prevent these sorts of things from happening again, because if all of these "debts" of our long-gone ancestors were to be repayed in kind, nothing would remain of humanity but a pile of corpses, nigh all of them innocents.
Personally, I hope for a future where our great-grandchildren will think of war and its horrors as a legend of the past, barbarity consigned to the history books, lest it be forgotten and repeated.
