I'm glad to find lyrics that seem to actually be correct instead of the useless hazy guesses I usually see. "In every coroner's bag is an atheist, sprung from the foxhole that he dug"... that's a great line.
Anyway, this seems to be about the Vietnam War. The protagonist is a fighter pilot who's been shot down over the Mekong Delta. His parachute has malfunctioned and gotten caught in a tree so he's just dangling there. Someone calls to him. He doesn't know if they're going to save him or shoot him.
