Waldo & Pigpen

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