[Instrumental Intro]

[Refrain]
We were young boys in old men's bodies
Beheaded but still alive
Baptized in foreign blood
Dead for sure before we died
Darkness fulfilled the yearning dreams
They slipped the sucking baby from the breast

[Verse 1]
Rolling in, straight ahead
The chasm just in front of me
Streaming flames, a thousand suns
The sky is full of greed
Bellowing bombs pick up the slick
There is no place like war
The cannons spurt, the angels cry
Staring down the hallowed ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Surrounded by the goddamn brute
A war you never understood
Receiving fire from the western side
No time to breathe, no warning signs
Condemned for all eternity
Don't want to die in bits and pieces
The fire destroys, but darkness remains
Into the open eyes of the living dead

[Chorus]
Waldo and Pigpen
Waldo and Pigpen
Their diaries painted in blood
Waldo and Pigpen
Waldo and Pigpen
Revived from crimson mud

[Refrain]
We were young boys in old men's bodies
Beheaded but still alive
Baptized in foreign blood
Dead for sure before we died
Darkness fulfilled the yearning dreams
They slipped the sucking baby from the breast

[Verse 2]
Invade and escape, it's not for real
I turned my eyes to Heaven
Raging storm, it's not a drill
There's something out of Hell
Wailing sirens, breaking bones
Manual pest control
I've flown my eagle slow enough
To see you clearly die

[Pre-Chorus]
Surrounded by the goddamn brute
A war you never understood
Receiving fire from the western side
No time to breathe, no warning signs
Condemned for all eternity
Don't want to die in bits and pieces
The fire destroys, but darkness remains
Into the open eyes of the living dead

[Chorus]
Waldo and Pigpen
Waldo and Pigpen
Their diaries painted in blood
Waldo and Pigpen
Waldo and Pigpen
Revived from crimson mud
