Fire in the hole
Waiting for the blast
Vibrations in the earth
Before the smoke can clear I'm diving underground
Searching through the dark I hunt the Vietcong
Feel the acrid smoke ripping through my lungs
Morality is gone
To kill is to survive
Morality is gone
To kill is to survive
Drive my body forward knowing what I'll find
Drive my body forward through this passage to hell
I crawl among the bodies and piles of human waste
Then I hear sound and lift my gun to aim
Thunderous exchange
Reeling from the pain
Twisting on the ground
Tasting my own blood
People running by
They don't try to help
I'm afraid to die
So afraid to die
So afraid to die
This cannot be true
People running by
Thinking I have died
People running by leaving me to die
Casualty of war
Body on the pile
I lie alone
But still refuse to give my soul up to this hell
Flashing back from hell
Returning to the world
Hearing my own screams tearing through the night
Clutching at my chest
My fingers trace the scars
Somehow I've got to end these visions in my head
Bottle in my hand
Barrel in my mouth
Bottle in my hand
Barrel in my mouth
Somehow I've got to end visions in my head
Fought so many years
This war for sanity
I cannot go on this ends for me today
