Nine soldiers, one jungle
Twelve sleepless nights
War-torn lands, blood rivers
No end in sight
Come darkness I remember
Flashes all around
Black devils spit lightning
Thunder from the ground
Fire raging, bush blazing
Smoke stings my eyes
Flesh burning, men screaming
Bodies baked alive
Time after time it comes back in the night
See the blood and blackened bones
I've returned from the battle but it's still inside
When the war comes home
The war comes home
Ten years now, wounds long healed
So I tell myself
Celebration, fireworks fly
And I'm back in hell
Guns sounding, hearts pounding
Charlie's got us down
Innocents cry, dead children
Village on the ground
Time after time it comes back in the night
See the blood and blackened bones
I've returned from the battle but it's still inside
When the war comes home
The war comes home
Father, please forgive me, for I know that I've done wrong
These images still haunt me like the ghosts of Viet Cong
Shall I pull this trigger, blow them straight out of my head?
It's one more for the body count, just one more soldier dead
Time after time it comes back in the night
See the blood and blackened bones
I've returned from the battle but it's still inside
When the war comes home
The war comes home
Nine soldiers, one jungle
No one came home
Twelve sleepless nights
War-torn lands, blood rivers
No end in sight
Come darkness I remember
Flashes all around
Black devils spit lightning
Thunder from the ground
Fire raging, bush blazing
Smoke stings my eyes
Flesh burning, men screaming
Bodies baked alive
Time after time it comes back in the night
See the blood and blackened bones
I've returned from the battle but it's still inside
When the war comes home
The war comes home
Ten years now, wounds long healed
So I tell myself
Celebration, fireworks fly
And I'm back in hell
Guns sounding, hearts pounding
Charlie's got us down
Innocents cry, dead children
Village on the ground
Time after time it comes back in the night
See the blood and blackened bones
I've returned from the battle but it's still inside
When the war comes home
The war comes home
Father, please forgive me, for I know that I've done wrong
These images still haunt me like the ghosts of Viet Cong
Shall I pull this trigger, blow them straight out of my head?
It's one more for the body count, just one more soldier dead
Time after time it comes back in the night
See the blood and blackened bones
I've returned from the battle but it's still inside
When the war comes home
The war comes home
Nine soldiers, one jungle
No one came home
