You hear a crack of a shot
Through the thick air
The round suddenly stopped
Through the armor it tears
Then another comes
Just a second later
No chance to run
From a well hidden sniper
His first target was a miss
Now to try for another
This one he wont dismiss
To him it doesn't matter
A total of four shots
He hits a target
He's now on the run
Gone from where he set
A snipers dismay
Only made us pissed
A brother fell that day
One who will truly be missed
