"Savior"
Annotation by Justin A. Brummer
Lyrics
English: Cursed by the earth that is soon to devour me / I cannot see one foot in front of me / Sent to fight for a nation's recovery / Defending the right of democracy / Cursed by the wind in a war we cannot win / Fighting an enemy we cannot see / A nightmare of demons stalk my mind / Serenity is a place I cannot be / Am I a savior of a nation? / Who is the savior for me? / America, the land of opportunity / When I came home people spit on me! / America gave up on our soldiers / Vietnam is still not over for me / I risked my life for this country, to die for democracy / A war fought for nothing / The dead that shouldn't be / Fouled by the government / To fight where we should not have been / For all those who died and those waiting to come back again / POW's and MIA's that are still not free / Napalm everything, hidden mines, killing mercy / People protest, why are they still protecting me? / A generation wiped out for an eternity / Burning villages, who is the enemy? Killing V.C. / God almighty, help me fight what I cannot see / Lifeless bodies barricade the path in front of me / POW's/MIA's only some free / Wasted are the days waiting for amnesty / The government thinks that the war is over / But not for those who were there / I see it every night in my mind / Every night I'm still there / Am I the savior of a nation? / Who is the savior for me?
