Jungle ambush (vietnam war)

Blood stained paddocks
Far and wide
Too scared too run
Too scared too hide

Prowling through the night
The jungle is so vast
Afraid to take your next step
It may be your last

Sick of creeping silently
Try to hold your breath
If u take another
It may lead to death

All lined up in single file
About to meet our fate
We're so lost and vulnerable
We're just like the bait

The enemy is in my sight
I will now fight
with honour
and all of my might.
