Sent from home overseas
and into the unknown
barely landed in the jungle
sent on first patrolSundown darkness falls
dig in for the night
ambushed in the dawn they came
the jungle's aliveI feel my fire starts to burn
the heat controlling my mind
berserk a savage running wild
within me the beast starts to roarNow I'm ready to strike
a creature of the night
Into the fire
a flame of napalm strikeSarge's down I'm in charge
VC's everywhere
overrun yet order airstrike
condemned us all to burn,Napalm from above
burning friend and foe
chaos on the battlefield
the jungle's on fireThis place it's driving me insane
napalm it's burning us all
this fight no man will live to tell
within me my blood starts to boilFrom above the airstrike came
and it burned the world below
napalm falling from the sky
and it leaves no man aliveI feel my fire starts to burn
the heat controlling my mind
napalm it's burning us alive
within me the beasts final roar
