From The Killing Fields Lyrics

dear mom and dear old man they say the time has come for war
isn't this what we all wanted a chance to get them back
well i've been searching but i don't recall what for
cause out here and so far away there just aren't any answers
anymore

can you get me out of this place
away from this world away from these killing fields

little brother i'm leaving for a while
that makes you the man of this house until i return
cause dad's body still lays with the war from years before
and your mother needs you now more than ever

can you get me out of this place
away from this world away from these killing fields little one my first and only child
these are my last words i don't get to see you grow up
so i leave behind the only thing i know
can protect you from the world and the evil that's out there

gave love and life for my country
and she loves me but not today

to the world i leave nothing behind
cause this cold steel in my arms is the only thing i have
and i've been waiting but i don't remember why
cause out here and so far away there just aren't any answers

can you get me out of this place
away from this world away from these killing fields
