He screams in his nightmares the battle scarred man
His legacy of his war days in Vietnam
He see things that anyone ought not to see
That still live in him to haunt his memory.
His war days in Vietnam have ruined his life
His addiction to alcohol has cost him his children and wife
Decades ago his wife took their young son and daughter to live in a town far away
He often does think where they might be today.
He see things that are not good for the human mind
And in alcohol some form of relief he does find
From his ghosts of war that from him will not go away
Till the Reaper claims the life from him with him they will stay.
He drinks on his own when in the local bar
Vietnam has left him with a deep mental scar
He looks more like eighty five than sixty three
And of his ghosts of war he will never be free.
