Black devils fly through the misty rain,
Gray thunder conceals loud screams of pain.
Laying in the mud I slowly see the blood on me,
Staring up at the last moon that I will ever see.
Goodbye Sal, fellow soldier and true friend,
Wish I could tell you how much you've meant.
But as I cry for you I watch a cannonball fly,
It seels our fate, together we will die.
Goodbye ma and dad, wish I could see you one last time,
Wish you could cease these awful tears of mine.
I think of you while the bomb's burst a loud,
I'll never get the chance to make you proud.
Goodbye to all my friends in my little town back home,
Wish I could feel safe there again, here I feel so alone.
Those precious memories block out the chopper's angry roar,
Well I'll never get the chance to make any more.
Goodbye to my love whom I will never meet,
Without you life is but lonely and incomplete.
A house of our own and a blue eyed son,
If I could only have one kiss before my life it is done.
Goodbye to the blood-soaked mud in which I sadly fell,
I try to get up, not ready to bid my dreams farewell.
So long to the guns, the bombs, the cries,
On this battlefield of hell is no place to die.
And goodbye to you kings and the petty game you play,
Wish you could look at the faces of the names you send away.
I hope one day the greedy people will preach peace instead of war,
Cause killing our own kind's not what we're born for.
