The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Godspeed

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

Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
And as I ran toward 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 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 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 it's 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 toward 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 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

We know not what we've done
And, oh, 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 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
