The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Godspeed lyrics

 
It's January 1970
Do you remember me
You put me on a boat across the sea,
In the name of victory
But much to my surprise when I arrived
There was no welcoming committee
Instead there was some men for me to kill
And now I see all this is all too real

Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
And as I ran towards him
He hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life
He fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to fade
He whispered softly

Godspeed this letter away from here
I sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better days and so are you
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_red_jumpsuit_apparatus/godspeed.html ]
And in his pocket there I saw a picture of his children and his family
And I began to realize this person I despised in actuality
Was not much different from myself
We prob'ly could have taught each other many things
And now I know it's much too late
Although I couldn't hesitate
I checked his gun and his chamber was empty

Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
And as I ran towards him
He hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life
He fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to fade
He whispered softly

Godspeed this letter away from here
I sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better days and so are you

Ooh we know not what we've done
And ooh we know not what we've done

Godspeed this letter away from here
I sealed it with my tears and stamped it with my fears
And Godspeed this letter away from you
My work down here is through
I'm on my way to better days and so are you

Does anyone know what instruments are used in the beginning of the song along with the drums just before the chorus starts?

In addition to everything i think it's about the vietnam war. I'm only saying this based on the fact it's set in 1970. Also the young man sent to war was also sympathetic towards another youth of war.

Like num1 fan said... He went 2 war without knowing the exact situation... He saw an enemy, with a bayonet.. Took his life away...

Without the main character knowing that the enemy he killed left his gun's chamber empty so that he would end his life and head to heaven(a better place)...

This song is so touching...

Made me cry...

I wish they make a nice music video for this song

Such a meaningful song, one of my favorites by them. I fully agree with both of the other meanings.

I fully agree wit num1 fan, but id like to ad that the song also says how sometimes we do things and don't fully understand them nor the consequinces of of said actions.

He went off to war b ut it was nothing like he expected. When he returns, he finds that everything is different. He had to kill this man while he was at war and, as the man was dying, he had one last request: send the letter to his family to tell them goodbye, and just... To tell them everything he needed to before he died.
