Lyrics

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 1: "shoot first, then ask questions!
Rule 2: "the winner hails!
Rule 3: remember, total destruction!
Rule 4: "dead men tell no tales!

You man of war! well 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 tales no tales -

"Shoot to kill" ... - you're all gonna die!
