Sniper

Sniper A shadow on the rooftop I blend into the backdrop I’m sent across the borders With rifle and my orders At Company insistence I drop marks at a distance Then I return to cover So my wife won’t discover The secret life her man leads She can never know my deeds I’m not seeking salvation I’m fighting for this Nation I find in it no delight But somebody has to fight For the safety of this land I hope God will understand This is something I must do To keep the world safe for you And as new orders arrive Pray I make it home alive I the event I should die I will say one more good-bye
