Fall

Creeping through the undergrowth
Gun in hand, heart in mouth
Nothing moves although it seems
That everywhere my heart is beating
Camouflage, to the ground
Take me down, take me down
Without a trace, without a sound
Into the evening shadows
Let me fall

Make a sound, dodge and weave
Stop and hear the forest breathe
Silence is your only friend
Remember this, especially when
Death is hiding in the trees
Look for faces in the leaves
Or in a foxhole underground
And if you're hit, don't make a sound
Just fall

Something moving to the left
Duck and turn, don't take a breath
Softly leveling the gun
Make your movements all in one
Everything is quite now
Turn around, turn around
Don't make a mess, don't make a sound
I hear a crack and to the ground
I fall
