Through the smoke, through the fire
Is the heat and the rain
The soldiers ran for cover down the drain
Ambush on the left, battle roars on their right
The moon was bright in the dead of the night
Looking' down at their final fight
Open fire, shoot to kill
At sunrise the fires died, the bloodshed was over
Young Jim lay dead, shot in the head, his eyes looking nowhere
A small town hero, at 18 a zero, no turnin' back
Never had the will to shoot to kill
Dead on the first attack
Open fire, shoot to kill
Rule one, shoot first, then ask questions
Rule two, the winner hails
Rule three, remember, total destruction
Rule four, dead men tell no tales
You man of war, will you live to see tomorrow
Be wiser than your father was, don't fall as a hero
Die if you want to but man you can count me out
'Cause I've been there before
It's a cold bloody war and I know what's it all about
Open fire, shoot to kill, dead men tell no tales
Shoot to kill, you're all gonna die
