Pressure

 

The pressures on

If I don’t make it

It’s all over

If this misses

It’s all over

For the greater good

For our servile

This shot could

Change everything

Our survival is resting

On this shot

 

Waiting for the go

The little red dot

On his forehead

Waiting for the go

Waiting…

 

[Static]

 

“We have a go,

Red wolf.

We have a go.

One clean shot.

Then got outs there.

As fast as possible”

“Copy that”

 

Check the wind

Line up

Kill shot

Deep breath in

As I release

My breath

[Bang]

He falls

 

For the greater

Of mankind

 

I picked up

To get the

Hell outa

Doge.

[Hope]

it turned out great. it really shows how much might go on in the minds of our soldiers. Truthful write! i love it! It doesn't put a fake mask nor a mask of hatred towards the war

[Poeticpiers]

You express well the pressures on a sniper. but could eqaully apply to an assassin
I wonder just how much difference there is between the two
