kfe2, all due respect, this is not an air force chaplain.
Air force pilots do not carry bayonets.
Nicodemus, are you sure it's anti-war?
Seems that way to me, but i think the whole thing is an open ended question.
I think sky pilot is God.
That's who he (The metaphorical soldier) is asking about 'thou shalt not kill'.
The whole thing is a question, a commentary.
@geistmosh I wonder if you have watched the you tube video with Eric Burden explaining the song? \r\n \r\n Eric Burdon & The Animals Sky Pilot HQ sound & Lyrics onscreen!!\r\n\r\n I believe your interpretation is correct. Thanks for that! I am not sure about the lyrics ,"you will never reach the sky!"\r\n\r\n Do you believe it...

I am not sure about the lyrics ,"you will never reach the sky!"\r\n\r\n Do you believe it is because the soilders killed maybe they will never go to heaven or is it about getting hiigh or what!! \r\n\r\n Eric is somewhat apologizing in a backhand way, in the start of the video. regarding it as a song about war so I don\'t believe it was about drugs and getting high. I am curious to your thoughts. TY\r\n\r\n I can never find the links on You Tube anymore, sorry\r\n
