Its January 1970, do you remember me You put me on a boat across the sea, in the name of victory But much to my surprised when I arrived, there was no welcoming committee Instead there was a man for me to kill, and now I see all this 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 stomped it with my fists 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 I'm in his pocket that 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 its much too late although I couldn't hesitate I checked his gun, and his chamber was empty SongtexteThen 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 stomped it with my fists 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 o-ho We know not what we've done And o-ho We know not what we've done Godspeed this letter, away from here I've sealed it with my tears, and stomped it with my fists 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 (Thanks to Smjp09 for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
