A Snipers Promise
The night was icy cold, I stood alone waiting for an army foot patrol then at last they came within my sight I squeezed the trigger of my armalite oh mama, oh mama, comfort me I know these awful things have got to be but when the war for freedom has been won I promise you I'll put away my gun Shots ran out I heard a soldier cry oh please don't leave me here alone to die I realised his patrol had gone away and left their wounded comrade for me to slay oh mama, oh mama, comfort me I know these awful things have got to be but when the war for freedom has been won I promise you I shall put away my gun Well there's nothing in this world I would not give if mercy in your heart you'd let me live Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com in his eyes I saw a begging flame as the muzzle of my gun moved towards his brain oh mama, oh mama, comfort me I know these awful things have got to be but when the war for freedom has been won I promise you I'll put away my gun the dawn was breaking as I reached my base I can't forget the look on that boy's face fear, agony and torment were all there but to your memory mama his life I spared oh mama, oh mama, comfort me I know these awful things have got to be but when the war for freedom has been won I promise you I shall put away my gun yes I promise you I'll put away my gun
