Napalm Nights

Hordes of bombers coming inn
 Lungs filled with fire - At war again
 Midnight in the firing line
 Death-baptism - Jumping the mines
 Hanoi Hannah screaming out her lies
 VC's like insects swarming in like tides
 The jungle-rot eating flesh alive
 "Agent orange - Fire at will"
 Running - Praying - And dying
 Deployed into this jungle Hell
 Searching - Blasting - Through fire
 As we climbed with mad abandon
 Every god-damned hill
 Sundown in paradise through melted eyes
 Pouring molten lava from the skies
 Arc-light over Ho-chi-minh
 Senses sharpened - Like knives to win
 It's been our fate since we came to base
 To pick the Joker and not the Ace
 From Da'Nang to the D.M.Z
 "Through the endless rain"
 The first and only - The last of many
 In the A'Shau-Valley we rot - Cored from bone
 Napalm Nights
 Now bring the morphine to blur out this Hellish sight
 Napalm Nights
 Peeling the melting skin off your burning children
 "Release the napalm"
 Storms of napalm coming inn
 Carpet bombing - At war again
 Striking first and strike them fast
 Skin burnt to crisp - And bones to black
 Mekong Delta-style - Bagged and tagged
 Rolled in napalm and burning rags
 We'll take this hill - Now raise that flag
 The magic dragon - The napalm roar
 Bullet benediction - Here the reaper call
 I saw the death-card Joker
 On that faithful final night
 As re-enforcements came in the cloak of napalm
 Upholding the banner
 This yellow fever will not stop
 We're stuck up here - On Hill-937
 Coming in fast and low
 Like a carpet of certain death
 A blast of napalm winds and iron-ashes
 Running for the choppers
 G.I's on the Huey-skids
 As the Việt cộng came swarming out of their fox-holes
 Through crotch-rot and jungle-death
 Bugs and Charlies' everywhere
 It never broke our backs as we ran with the Hellhounds
 Come in Whiskey-company
 Scorched flesh and skin burned black
 For every limbless marine and fire-walker
 ... We salute you
