Godspeed Lyrics - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Review The Song (2)
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 towards 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 fears
Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
And in his pocket there
I saw a 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 check his gun and his chamber was empty
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
And as I ran towards 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 fears
Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
Oh, 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 fears
Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
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 towards 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 fears
Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you
And in his pocket there
I saw a picture of his children and his family
And I began to realize

And now I know it's much too late although I couldn't hesitate

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

And stamped it with my fears
Godspeed this letter
Away from you
My work done here is through
I'm on my way to better days
And so are you

It's amazing how The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus have evolved in two years. Now they're an awesome band, concentrating on music and not screaming into songs. Great band and great song, think it's about the Vietnam War.
