Another Way You Can Die

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lieutenant] So you're caught in the night of a new firefight In a jungle that's so hot that it steams An explosion just ahead Does announce the newly dead Is it right to call a nightmare a dream? And the tracers probe on 'till a close friend is gone And you find yourself embracing ground And your foe is as near as the silence you hear As he stops to load in another round [Chorus: Lieutenant] Battles raging It's all staging 'Til you realize Another way you can die [Verse 2: Lieutenant] Still you know you're out there Feel their eyes, feel their stares Though there's not a single life you can see But you now fire back For their tracers leave tracks Pointing out the places where they must be Though a gun's taken out, there's another no doubt And so you must continue the game And you know in this fight that the value of life On the other side is not quite the same [Chorus: Lieutenant] Battles raging It's all staging As your mind denies Another way you can [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Lieutenant] I see a figure in my rifle sight who does not know that he's there And as I hesitate to take his life The ground explodes, my blood it flows My heart is racing times escaping As I feel it slowly scraping by [Instrumental Outro]
