STRANGLERS

- Vietnamerica Lyrics

It's over linger
On nightmares of the waste

The pagan values
a bloodsweet crimson taste

Treasures captured
Pleasures enraptured
Lose their friendship

Vietnamerica
Vietnamerica
Vietnamerica

The native plaintive
Cry in ancient lands

Omnipotent
gods have burnt their hands

Lightning providers
Fatal dividers
Spread heads inside us

Vietnamerica
Vietnamerica
Vietnamerica

So friends, Oh! Friends
Paint the mother's face

Liars conspire
To hide within God's grace

Treasures captured
Pleasures enraptured
Lose their friendship

Vietnamerica
Vietnamerica
Vietnamerica
