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 I see all this is all to real


Then I saw him standing with a... (?)
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 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 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
The tract is gone and his chamber was empty


Then I saw him standing with a... (?)
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 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


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 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
