A seed of distrust was planted in the soil
When I was just a boy
It wasn't their fault
They didn't know
They were lost
One a young soldier whose soul was burnt by the cruelty of humanity
Witnessed from the first row
A seat at the front line of evil
The other
A girl
A woman
A mother
A beautiful being
Two lives crisscross
Clash together
Microcosm atomic age
Rage Vietnam played
The biggest part
Ripping out your heart
I can comprehend how so much evil
Could adjust your perception
Enemies
They be there somewhere in the bushes.
That's why you always carried your guns
