A young man overhears his uncles making a strange choking noise as a joke. When he asks the story behind the joke, his uncle tells him of the time they spent in an internment camp, and the captain who would rape and kill women, until one day accidentally killing himself.

lyrics

Cryptic little noises always draw a laugh
Originate in horrors drawing from your past
A comic act of violence may have saved your life
While other poor souls went under the knife

Captain's got you caught up in his ritual
The kind that you could only wish were spiritual
They say that happy accidents came come and go
And life is always counting on their ebb and flow

So raise up your guns boys
Send in the troops
Send in the kids with nothing to lose
War is a prison
Yeah, war is hell
And there's some secrets you don't tell
