Lyrics

Godspeed

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 stamped 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

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 stamped 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 stamped 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
