Another Way You Can Die

[Lieutenant]
 So you're caught in the night
 Of a new firefight
 In a jungle that's so hot that it
 Steams
 An explosion just ahead
 Does announce the newly dead
 Is it right to call a nightmare a
 Dream
 And the tracers probe on
 'Till a close friend is gone
 And you find yourself embracing
 Ground
 And the foe is as near
 As the silence you hear
 As he stops to load in another
 Round
 Battles raging
 It's all staging
 'Till you realize...
 Another way you can die
 Still you know they're out there
 Feel their eyes, feel their stares
 Though there's not a single life
 Can see
 But you now fire back
 For their tracers leave tracks
 Pointing out the places where they
 Must be
 Though a gun is taken out
 There's another have no doubt
 And so you must continue the game
 And you know in this fight
 That the value of life
 On the other side is not quite the
 Same
 Battles raging
 It's all staging
 As your mind denies
 Another way you can...
 I see a figure in my rifle sight
 Who does not know that he's there
 And as I hesitate to take his life
 The ground explodes
 My blood it flows
 My heart is racing
 Times escaping
 As I feel it slowly scraping by
