Damages of war
[Verse ]
I’m going to wake up, I know I will
This has got to be a dream
Something fabricated,
from a violent movie scene.
[Verse]
There are bodies torn apart
Their blood is on my hands
I’m in a hail storm of bullets
marooned in a foreign land.
[Pre – Chorus]
Some I save and some I lose
But always there are more.
It’s my job to repair
the damages of war.
[Chorus]
The damages, the damages.
The damages of war.
[Verse ]
Morphine’s the only god they know
Who can take their pain away.
Absolve me of my sins
and help me through these days.
[Verse]
I haven’t slept in ages.
Their blood’s dried on my shoes.
When this hail of lead is over
I’m drowning myself in booze.
Chorus]
Some I save and some I lose
But always there are more.
It’s my job to repair
the damages of war.
[Chorus]
The damages, the damages.
The damages of war.
[Verse]
Some boys cry and want their mothers
Others beg; Doc end it please.
I do what I’ve got to;
Then get down upon my knees.
[Verse]
God have mercy on my soul
Their blood is on my hands.
All I can do is pray and hope;
That the good lord understands.

Hey,
This gives one horror of an image but I like the way it’s told and its honesty!
One thing I find a bit difficult is the verse:
Morphine’s the only god they know
Who can take their pain away.
Absolve me of my sins
and help me through these days.
This „jump“ from them back to you feels a bit strange. so abrupt…
Maybe if you change it into:
absolve them from their sins
And help me through these days
….something like that…
I personally would like it if the whole part is about you or them…but well that’s just me…
All in all it’s good stuff!
Hope i could have been helpful!

Great Apocalypse Now soundtrack, vivid and well written, excellent portrayal from the medic's POV.

Powerful stuff, and full on, as it should be for this song.
My only suggestion is that "It’s my job to repair" feels a syllable short, maybe "It’s my job to remedy"?

Agree with RDM but don't use remedy, too mild!
change syllable count before repair
