So goddamn long, we've been searching
Why has it taken so long
An open mind is a weapon
Loaded and keeping it strong

Deadly extraction, the body count, not few
And through the blood shed, the innocence consumed
There's no place to hide, our sights are set on you

No longer run from us all
The final step of the mission
We got the green light to kill
The target's now in position
Shoot, fire at will
One shot kill
One shot kill
One shot kill
One shot kill
