[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Godspeed this letter
Away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
And stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Godspeed this letter
Away from here
I've sealed it with my tears
And stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
