A Ghost in the Trenches (History Version)

A Ghost in the Trenches (History Version) - Sabaton

Lyrics by：Joakim Brodén

Composed by：Joakim Brodén/Tommy Johansson

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

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
