Sniper's Promise
| Unknown |
|---|
| The night was icy cold I stood along I was waiting for an army foot patrol And when at last they came into my site I squeezed the trigger of my armalite Oh Mama, oh Mama comfort me For I know these things have got to be But when the war for freedom has been won I promise you I'll put away my gun. A shot rang out, I heard a soldier cry "Oh please don't leave me here alone to die" I realized his patrol had run away And left their wounded comrade for me to slay. "There's nothing in this world I would not do If there's mercy in your heart you'll let me live" And in his eyes I saw a look of pain As the mussel of my gun moved towards his brain. The dawn was breaking as I reached my base I will not forget the look on that boy's face Fear, agony, and torment where all there Oh but to your memory, mother, his life I spared.
