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 toward 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 fist 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 the 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 checked his gun Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And his chamber was empty
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet And as I ran toward 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 fist
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
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 fist 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
