Shifter Lyrics - Axis Of Advance

Trapped in my sights, he moves around slowly 

My finger pressed firmly on the trigger 

Two men trapped in the oblivion of conflict 

The hunter and his prey 

Beads of sweat form on my face 

As he approaches, looking from side to side 

My life or his - Justification 

My cause or his - duty and honour 

I think back of my home far away 

A land of peace and equality 

Horror paralyses my fingers 

Shock, breathlessness, haze of faint 

I cannot move, I cannot think 

White in my eyes that blinds my sight 

All I do is lay or die 

Terror, sweat pours off my chin 

I'm starting to shake 

The weapon discharges 

I missed, a hail of bullets graze nearby 

Then nearer, i'm hit 

I'm hit again! I lay and die
