sniper lines

you feel the chill on the air,
moonlight shining in your hair,
watch for the muzzle flair.
did you see it? hah, you didn't see shit.
because I'm the nightmare from afar,
i know exactly where you are.

cold steel snug in shoulder with sight set
compensating
wind and distance
target marked
it's you baby

did you see it? heh, you didn't see shit
before you knew it you were hit
sniper round
right through your face
between us almost a mile of space
you just won the human race
but i'll be the one

who goes home for supper
