Shadows in the jungle

Got the letter in the mail no warning no sound

Just a number on a page said my time had come around

Eighteen and green didn’t know the first thing about war

Now I’m knee-deep in mud hearing screams I can’t ignore

They said it’s for freedom for peace for the stars

But I’m just a pawn in a game played too far

Take me home take me home

This jungle’s eating me alive

I see shadows in the trees

Where enemies run free

I feel I'm running out of time

Take me home take me home

My mind wants to escape inside

But There's no place to run

There's no place to hide

The shadows in the jungle come out tonight

The jungle hums death whispers in the breeze

Every shadow looks like the enemy’s teeth

Friends fall like leaves no time to cry

Load the clip aim shoot don’t ask why

Smoke in my lungs blood on my hands

What’s left of me won’t understand

Take me home take me home

This jungle’s eating me alive

I see shadows in the trees

Where enemies run free

I feel I'm running out of time

Take me home take me home

My mind wants to escape inside

But There's no place to run

There's no place to hide

The shadows in the jungle come out tonight

Take me home take me home

This jungle’s eating me alive

I see shadows in the trees

Where enemies run free

I feel I'm running out of time

Take me home take me home

My mind wants to escape inside

But There's no place to run

There's no place to hide

The shadows in the jungle come out tonight
