Annotation
Speed Metal / Burning Spirits group, which formed in Lisbon, Portugal in 2020. Members go by the following names: Speedfaias Nagasaki (bass), War Tank Nagasaki (drums), Iron Fist Nagasaki (guitar), and Gasolizna Nagasaki (vocals). The song "The Fall of Saigon" (Monolith Records # 013) recalled the collapse of South Vietnam in 1975, from the perspective of the North: "no sleep 'till Saigon... warheads in position". It referred to it as "requiem for Vietcong" - the Vietcong (or "VC") - the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (Vietnamese: Mặt trận Dân tộc Giải phóng Miền Nam Việt Nam) (NLFSV or NLF), the political and military resistance to the US and South Vietnamese government from within South Vietnam.

Lyrics
English: At 900 hours / ARVN tanks deploy / Kill the commander / T-54 is destroyed / Invisible enemy / Invisible enemy / Invisible enemy / No sleep 'till Saigon / Frequent wind is over / Requiem for Vietcong / Black April fire / The fall of Saigon began / Invisible enemy... / No sleep 'till Saigon / Pacific Rim is charged / Warheads in position / Blasting the serpent's Nest / Can you handle the truth? / Can you handle the blast? / Invisible enemy... / The Fall of Saigon...
