A Ghost in the Trenches

A Ghost in the Trenches - Sabaton Lyrics

Raid after raid
Men charge straight into the fire
Laying their lives down
For few feet of ground
It is a costly and destructive tactic
Some men have found out that
A single shot can be more efficient than a hail of bullets
When directed from a snipers sight
Like ghosts they sweep across the trenches
With deadly precision
Move between the lines
A soldier breaking the confines
A force deployed from overseas
A war in foreign land await the eager recruits
And in their midst, among the men
A soldier with a different past return to his roots
Into battle, the gas has them pinned
Then this soldier invoke the spirits of the wind
Under fire, a ghost that roams the battlefield
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
Just another man and rifle, a marksman and a scout revealed
Makes his way from trench to trench alone, moving undetected
And on the fields of Passchendaele
A guiding light for reinforcements finding their way
And in the Battle of the Scarpe
Bring ammo over no man's land and fire away
In the battle, the gas had them pinned
Pegahmagabow invoked the spirits of the wind
Under fire, a ghost that roams the battlefield
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
Just another man and rifle, a marksman and a scout revealed
Makes his way from trench to trench alone, moving undetected
Under fire, a ghost that
Under fire, a ghost that roams the battlefield
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
Just another man and rifle, a marksman and a scout revealed
Makes his way from trench to trench alone, moving undetected
Francis stayed and fought throughout the war
Made his way until the end alive
