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
