Sniper

As I walk across the sands of the desert plain
I journey into a valley of death.
No shelter from the unforgiven sun.
Cold hearted killer, ice in my veins.
Like a serpent winding through a wasteland
Hunter and hunted, with malice I bring pain.

Hand on the trigger, the victim in my sights
I'm moving in for the kill.
Carry out the sentence, one bullet assassination
I am a desert sniper!

Insignificant and feeling so very small
Consumed by the wind, sand, and sun.
Not a shadow to be found anywhere
Although I'm weary, I've never felt so aware.
Cursed to fall victim to a strange and forgotten land
I have the prey in my sights.

A blinding sandstorm makes me disappear
Heart pounds as the target draws near.
In the cross hair nowhere to run
One last breath as I'm aiming the gun.
With one bullet I take down the mark
Echo of gunfire rips the sky.

Hand on the trigger, the victim in my sights
I'm moving in for the kill.
Carry out the sentence, one bullet assassination
I am a desert sniper!
