The Sniper Lyrics

The crash - the gas

The heart attack

The rare disease you cannot fight

The poisoned bite

The faulty light

The wet hand on the stereo

The fire at night

The jump - the ice - the slip

The fall

That ends it all

The sniper knows his time has come

The life he takes means nothing more

Than bullets to the gun

The plane - the siege

The desperate deed

The news is read "one hostage dead"

The falling load

The needle showed

The cyclone and the overdose

The cyanide

The swamp - the snake - the slip

The fall

That ends it all

The sniper knows his time has come

The life he takes means nothing more

Than bullets to the gunHine Rupert - The Sniper - http://motolyrics.com/hine-rupert/the-sniper-lyrics.html

There's no temptation in his gaze

His blood runs hot and cold some days

His finger feels you in his range

A second on you freeze;

No memory for a fatal change

The sniper knows a man who's lived too long

The shock - the smog

The rabid dog

The forceps left inside your head

The saboteur

The ancient law

The bomb no one would dare explode

The fight for life

The smack - the skid - the slip

The fall

That ends it all

The sniper knows his time has come

The life he takes means nothing more

Than bullets to the gun

Fight for life

The sniper knows a man who's lived too long
