LYRICS: "Agent Orange" 6:03

Operation "Ranch Hand"

Spray down the death

Down on their farms

Assault against the population

Suppress by military arms

Only you prevent the forest

Legalise the war

They are deprived of their power

Eradication without law

Agent Orange

Agent Orange

Agent Orange

A fire that doesn't burn

All the marks erased long ago

Scars are healed up

Cancer creeps into their innocent souls

Memorials of flesh and blood

Have survived unlawfully punished

Poisoned till the end of their lives

Physical deformity

What medicine will help?

Still births will rise

Agent Orange

Agent Orange

Agent Orange

A fire that doesn't burn

Grieved weak hearts are crying

Waiting for the end

In this condition they are dying

New-borns of the damned

Preserved in test tubes for generations

Vicious circle of transmission

There's no way for reparations

Must live with chemical agent called

Agent Orange

Agent Orange

Agent Orange

A fire that doesn't burn

Agent Orange... burn

Agent Orange... burn

Agent Orange... burn
