* 'Nude', a concept album about a Japanese soldier stranded on a deserted island during World War II, and stayed there, oblivious to the outside world, for 29 years.

3. Drafted

Nude's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. The
Postman muttered something about wishing he could go too
And handed over a yellow envelope.
It was a command long overdue that called for healthy,
Young men.

In reply to your request,
Please find...
I hereby protest.
To the ways and means you use
You know...
I cannot refuse.

So I'll take this vow
Of Loyalty.
Fight for the right,
You have said,
To be free.

When this time has run its course,
I must...
Live without remorse.
For the deeds I'm bound to do,
I know...
It's all the same to you.

But I won't forget
The memory...
Taking a life,
For a life...
To be free.

13. Lies

Tell me no lies,
Has peace arrived...
Or, is this some kind of joke?

What a surprise,
You don't realise...
There's some things you don't own.

Can you disguise,
Can you simplify...
This change you put me through?

Can you revive,
And will I survive...
This life you've brought me to?

Physically and emotionally exhausted, Nude was confined to a
Sea-side resort nursing home.
His war had finally begun.
