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 over 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 . . . .
