[Narrative Intro]
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 ghost they sweep across the trenches with deadly precision
[Intro]
Move between the lines, a soldier breaking the confines
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Into battle, the gas has them pinned
Then this soldier invoke the spirits of the wind
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
In the battle, the gas had them pinned
Pegahmagabow
Invoked the spirits of the wind
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Francis stayed and fought throughout the war
Made his way until the end alive
