Fall - The Escape Club

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
