|
Thousands of united states soldiers descended upon the tiny nation of |
|
Vietnam they did not know what lay ahead but selflessly laid down their lives. |
|
Fighting on foreign soil we carry out our duty no matter what we see or hear. |
|
Question our right to be here reassured by empowered men that we were acting nobly for the good of the common man. |
|
Fighting a war that we can not win in a hostile land. |
|
Watching as friends lay dead and dying saving who we can. |
|
A nation tears itself apart half a world away. |
|
Ungrateful for the sacrifices we bore |
|
ON THEIR B |
|
EHALF. We bled the ground deep red. |
|
Died too young embraced our death. |
|
You could never see what came of me terrors |
|
I fear became reality. |
|
Not knowing what to believe in. |
|
We do our duty the best that we can. |
|
Outcast for following orders |
|
Ordered to kill by our own government. |
|
Save myself and those who fought beside me. |
|
We are the victims of war. |
|
We were the victims. |
|
Kill to live not live to kill. |
|
But what's the difference. |
|
We are the victims of war. |
|
We were the victims. |
|
Victims of wars circumstance. |
|
What will become of us now. |
|
Our generation is lost. |
|
Despised for our service to god and country. |
|
We killed |
|
ON THEIR B |
|
EHALF. We bled the ground deep red. |
|
Died too young embraced our death. |
|
You could never see what came of me terrors |
|
I fear became reality. |
|
We won't forget. |
|
We must remember the fallen. |
|
We must remember the slain |
