It's January, 1970 |
| [00:40.16] |
Do you remember me? |
| [00:44.15] |
You put me on a boat across the sea |
| [00:48.68] |
In the name of victory |
| [00:53.33] |
But much to my surprise when I arrived |
| [00:56.79] |
There was no welcoming committee |
| [01:01.07] |
Instead there was a man for me to kill |
| [01:04.79] |
And now I see how this is all too real |
| [01:09.95] |
|
| [01:10.85] |
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet |
| [01:17.77] |
And as I ran toward him, he hardly broke a sweat |
| [01:26.11] |
When I took his life, he fell to his knees |
| [01:34.99] |
And as his eyes began to fade |
| [01:40.10] |
He whispered softly |
| [01:41.28] |
|
| [01:42.44] |
Godspeed this letter |
| [01:46.18] |
Away from here |
| [01:50.31] |
I've sealed it with my tears |
| [01:54.26] |
And stamped it with my fist |
| [01:59.00] |
And Godspeed this letter |
| [02:02.85] |
Away from you |
| [02:06.58] |
My work down here is through |
| [02:10.63] |
I'm on my way to better days |
| [02:15.52] |
And so are you |
| [02:19.09] |
|
| [02:30.52] |
And in his pocket there |
| [02:33.50] |
I saw the picture of his children and his family |
| [02:38.57] |
And I began to realize this person I despised |
| [02:43.57] |
In actuality, was not much different from myself |
| [02:50.52] |
We probably could have taught each other many things |
| [02:55.16] |
|
| [02:56.08] |
And now I know it's much too late |
| [02:58.74] |
Although I couldn't hesitate |
| [03:00.29] |
I checked his gun |
| [03:02.36] |
And his chamber was empty |
| [03:05.42] |
|
| [03:06.36] |
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet |
| [03:12.71] |
And as I ran toward him, he hardly broke a sweat |
| [03:20.86] |
When I took his life, he fell to his knees |
| [03:29.81] |
And as his eyes began to fade |
| [03:34.68] |
He whispered softly |
| [03:36.53] |
|
| [03:37.45] |
Godspeed this letter |
| [03:41.19] |
Away from here |
| [03:45.19] |
I've sealed it with my tears |
| [03:49.35] |
And stamped it with my fist |
| [03:52.76] |
|
| [03:53.84] |
And Godspeed this letter |
| [03:57.63] |
Away from you |
| [04:01.50] |
My work down here is through |
| [04:05.69] |
I'm on my way to better days |
| [04:10.11] |
And so are you |
| [04:11.90] |
|
| [04:12.79] |
We know not what we've done |
| [04:25.54] |
And, oh, we know not what we've done |
| [04:41.89] |
|
| [04:42.79] |
Godspeed this letter |
| [04:46.87] |
Away from here |
| [04:50.93] |
I've sealed it with my tears |
| [04:55.06] |
And stamped it with my fist |
| [04:59.12] |
And Godspeed this letter |
| [05:03.30] |
Away from you |
| [05:07.06] |
My work down here is through |
| [05:11.36] |
I'm on my way to better days |
| [05:15.95] |
And so are you |
| [05:19.82] |
