Lyrics
"Once a proud veteran of the Vietnam War
Reflecting on being a proud veteran of the Vietnam War.
Now a deranged lunatic back to settle the score!"
Describing the speaker as a disturbed individual seeking revenge.
Vertigo envelops my mind, I've been here before
Experiencing a sense of disorientation and déjà vu.
A state of twisted conscience strikes as I rise off the floor
Feeling a distorted conscience as the speaker gets up from the floor.
Roaming down the ravaged streets far away from home
Wandering through damaged streets, far from the speaker's home.
I can't remember who I am, but I know I'm at war
Identity confusion – not remembering who the speaker is but aware of being in a war.
"Entrenched in deep psychosis, not that he would know
Describing the speaker's deep psychological issues, possibly resulting from war trauma.
Years of flashbacks of the carnage have taken their toll!"
Years of reliving traumatic war memories have taken a toll on the speaker's mental health.
Boom goes the '45, Kong hits the ground
Depicting an intense moment with the firing of a '45 and an enemy falling.
Bastard's mouth, filled with blood, it won't make a sound
Detailing a violent scene where the enemy is injured but silent.
"Determined to death, to wipe out the reds,
Expressing the speaker's determination to eliminate the perceived enemy ('reds').
He cannot see he's slaughtering his friends!"
Highlighting the tragic irony that the speaker is unknowingly harming friends.
They say the war is over, but I see through their lies
Rejecting the notion that the war is truly over, perceiving deception.
Adrenaline rushes as I strike fear into their eyes
Experiencing adrenaline as the speaker instills fear in others.
It seems I'm the only one that did not meet demise
Suggesting the speaker survived while others did not during the war.
I won't stop this killing spree 'till the last commie dies
Expressing an unrelenting commitment to a vengeful killing spree against perceived enemies.
Boom
Ending abruptly, possibly symbolizing a sudden, violent event.
