its about an army sniper
Snipers Fear
Slide home the bolt forward and down
Sending my enemies into the ground
See the fear in their eyes as the shells go by
As I squeeze the trigger of my demise
As their souls go down
So many advisers in the ground
The pain in my eyes as I take another life
A job for my country
A job for my life
They call me a hunter but my only game is man
The best of my trade no one understands
I want to quit but I'm a fool for the hunt
I hear the convoy coming now
There leaders up front
As I center him in on my sights
The round is ready to go
The story of my life
The bullets spray all around me now
Soon I’ll be going down
I squeeze the trigger one last time
Accomplishing my mission before I die
