Nightmare Patrol

[Mekong Delta, J. Jenkins]

Screams, lonely in the night
Deadly torture, just remember
War captivity
Fellows on your side
Blood - spurting out his neck
While his head is rolling to the ground
And his dying corpse's
vincing at my feet
And the torturer said to me
The next one could be you
And I told him all the things
My comrades planned to do
Screams, lonely in my room
Wake up in cold sweat like every night
I can't get these things out of my head
Mad, I got nearly mad
With this lack of sleep I can't get clear
Help me in my pain
I am shell shocked
Every night it's just the same
I can't rest my soul
I'm the one who is to blame
