Galleon Sniper Lyrics

Sniper Lyrics

Don´t waste no tears over the lost years 
just doing the duty in of freewill, in for the kill 
 
I was young a blue-eyed kid 
only eighteen years old 
beliving in the familiar quotations 
glory and fight for your country 
be a real hero, show your braveness to the world 
 
get in the line, get drafted 
just like a rat, in a rattrap 
 
We were sent on a secret mission 
far behind enemy lines 
a dead end trip with no way out 
strange orders loaded with lies 
an obscure target in the jungle 
destroy all that you can see 
but it started wrong, a big miscalculation 
they were shooting from every tree 
 
Sniper, I´m crawling over barbed wire 
Sniper, I´m lost and I´m trapped here 
please help me back to civilization 
I´m so tired of this war and 
I don´t want to die here 
Sniper, I´m stumbling like a blind 
Sniper, must leave my fear behind 
I can feel the death right by my side 
 
I flush my brain wiht drugs 
just to stand the pain 
of the hell here and of all that I left behind 
I left behind 
 
Running alone in no-mans land 
cold scared and hungry 
beaten up by the rough jungle an the sniper 
is closing in 
he´s hidden he´s silent 
where the hell is my platoon 
I´m not gonna make it on my own 
I´m going to die soon 
 
Sniper, I´m crawling over barbed wire 
Sniper, I´m lost and I´m trapped here 
please help me back to civilization 
I´m so tired of this war and 
I don´t want to die here 
Sniper, I´m stumbling like a blind 
Sniper, must leave my fear behind 
I can feel the death right by my side 
please I wan´t to stay alive 
 
I´m fumbling in the dark 
I´m crawling ovre dead bodies 
fall into large holes 
that are full of sharp bamboo sticks 
that rip my clothes, and rip my flesh 
while the smell of napalm 
tear my lungs to pieces 
 
Sniper, I´m crawling over barbed wire 
Sniper, I´m lost and I´m trapped here 
please help me back to civilization 
I´m so tired of this war and 
I don´t want to die here 
Sniper, I´m stumbling like a blind 
Sniper, must leave my fear behind 
I can feel the death right by my side 
please I wan´t to stay alive 
Sniper...
