Godspeed |
It’s January 1970 |
Do you remember me? |
You put me on a boat across the sea |
In the name of victory |
But much to my surprise when I arrived |
There was no welcoming committee |
Instead there was a man for me to kill |
And now I see how this is all too real |
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet |
And as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat |
When I took his life he fell to his knees |
And as his eyes began to fade |
He whispered softly |
Godspeed this letter |
Away from here |
I’ve sealed it with my tears |
And stamped it with my fears |
And Godspeed this letter |
Away from you |
My work done here is through |
I’m on my way to better days |
And so are you |
And in his pocket there |
I saw a picture of his children and his family |
And I began to realize |
This person I despised |
In actuality |
Was not much different from myself |
We probably could have taught each other many things |
And now I know it’s much too late although I couldn’t hesitate |
I check his gun and his chamber was empty |
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet |
And as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat |
When I took his life he fell to his knees |
And as his eyes began to fade |
He whispered softly |
Godspeed this letter |
Away from here |
I’ve sealed it with my tears |
And stamped it with my fears |
And Godspeed this letter |
Away from you |
My work done here is through |
I’m on my way to better days |
And so are you |
Oh, we know not what we’ve done |
And oh, we know not what we’ve done |
Godspeed this letter |
Away from here |
I’ve sealed it with my tears |
And stamped it with my fears |
And Godspeed this letter |
Away from you |
My work done here is through |
I’m on my way to better days |
And so are you |
