Sniper's Hide Anthem

Grateful Dead, Tons of Steel



I know these rails we're on like I know my lady's smile
Re-see a dozen dreams in every passing mile
Can't begin to count the trips
That she and I have made
But I wish I had a dollar
For each time we both been down this grade

Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Made to roll
Her brakes don't work and this grade's so steep
Her engine's sure to blow
Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Out of control
She's more a roller-coaster than the train I used to know


It's one hell of an understatement to say she can get mean
She's temperamental, more a bitch than a machine
She wasn't built to travel at
The speed a rumour flies
These wheels are bound to jump the tracks
Before they burn the ties

Murphy's sure outdone himself to pick this stretch of track
I can only hope my luck is riding in the back
Well I have prayed to God
This ain't the day we meet
I've done about everything
But try dragging my feet

Oo, oo, I wanna go down slow
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo
Nine hundred thousand tons of steel
Out of control
She's more a roller coaster than the train I used to know
 
Eddie,,or better know as..

There was a video on the Hide at one time of a hardcore double amputee ass kicker competing in a Precision Scoped Rifle event with a tower structure.

Dude masters the climb and the shooting.

The whole thing is videod with AWOL Nation Sail playing in the background.

Since seeing that vid I've fell in love with the music because it represents to me people overcoming shit.....my problems are small compared to others and they do more than I dare try.



Someone find the video please......
 
This is how I see it, but because this better video is live, you need the lyrics,

But these Lyrics say alot about here



Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit
Everyone could see him fall
And be sure it's been his last hit
He's never been seen at all

Some dictator felt progressive
And lay down in the sun
But his people were aggressive
They killed him with a gun

Sometimes you're wrong
By some things you have done
You see fate is too strong
Nothing's won
No use for a fight
If you're not acting right
You'll be cut down to size
Like a lie

It's the rise and fall
The prize for all
That ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
So better use your brain

A little dragon could spit fire
But never so for something bad
He didn't know the knight's desire
To throw a lance into his head

Romeo loved his Juliet
Their parents told them "Stop"
Then it all turned out peculiar
He couldn't get it up

And it's all in vain
When you're living with pain
Reap not goods you have grown
By your own
Feelings you like
Disappear overnight
You sip up every grin
Free to win

It's the rise and fall
The prize for all
That ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
You nearly go insane

A spaceman flies the rocket
That takes him to the stars
Thinks his wife is in his pocket
But she's strolling 'round in bars

The king of Los Angeles
Bought himself a teddy bear
And the queen became shameless
She did it with a chair

Sometimes you're wrong
By some things you have done
You see fate is too strong
Nothing's won
No use for a fight
If you're not acting right
You'll be cut down to size
Like a lie

It's the rise and fall
The prize for all
That ain't nice at all
Luck is like a ball
You can't recall or care at all
So better use your brain

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 mans land and fire away

In the battle, the gas had them pinned
Pegahmagabow invoked the spirits of the wind

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.


About the dude.
First Nations’ scout and marksman Francis “Peggy” Pegahmagabow, credited with killing 378 Germans and capturing 300 more, was one of Canada’s most decorated soldiers and the deadliest sniper of World War I. He earned his notoriety in the Second Battle of Ypres where he established his reputation as a sniper and scout infiltrating German trenches, the Second Battle of Passchendaele when he led a lost battalion of reinforcements into position, and the Battle of the Scarpe when he braved heavy machine gun fire to resupply his company with enough ammunition to hold their defensive position. Francis enlisted in August 1914 and stayed until after the war ended in 1919 effectively serving and surviving the entire war before returning home.

Almost night
A crimson horizon
Painting thousand lakes red
As your army approach from the east
A hunter is switching his prey
All alone, a man with his gun
Wanders into the wild
Tracks you down
You cannot hide
Once he is onto your trail
Enter the night
A flash in the darkness
White Death is heading your way
The fear of his foes, a hero at home
Hundreds will fall by his gun
You are in the sniper's sight
The first kill tonight
Time to die!
You are in the bullet's way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
After the dawn
When morning is broken
Snow once white turn to red
Blood red snow tells
What happened last night
A tale of a sniper is born
Snow in mouth
Hiding his breath
He is steady at hand
Eye to eye
Target in sight
The moment to fire has come
Hundreds of kills
The man and his rifle
Embody the sisu of Finns
Stay out of sight, and cover your head
When he pulls the trigger you're dead
You are in the sniper's sight
The first kill tonight
Time to die!
You're in the bullet's way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
You are in the sniper's sight
The first kill tonight
Time to die!
You are in the bullet's way
The White Death's prey
Say goodbye!
You are in the sniper's sight
Snipers sight
You are the first kill tonight
First kill tonight
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
You are in the sniper's sight
Snipers sight
You are the first kill tonight
First kill tonight
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
