Godspeed

歌詞

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 some men for me to kill And now I see all this is all to 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 sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears And Godspeed this letter away from you My work down 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 prob'ly could have taught each other many things And now I know it's much too late Although I couldn't hesitate I checked 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 sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears And Godspeed this letter away from you My work down here is through I'm on my way to better days and so are you Ooh we know not what we've done And ooh we know not what we've done Godspeed this letter away from here I sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears And Godspeed this letter away from you My work down here is through I'm on my way to better days and so are you
