Lyrics: Trans Siberian Orchestra. Night Castle. Another Way You Can Die.

So you're caught in the night of a new firefight
In a jungle that's so hot that it steams
An explosion just ahead does announce the newly dead
Is it right to call a nightmare a dream?

And the tracers probe on 'til a close friend is gone
And you find yourself embracing ground
And your foe is as near as the silence you hear
As he stops to load in another round

Battles raging, it's all staging 'til you realize
Another way you can die

Still you know they're out there, feel their eyes, feel their stares
Though there's not a single life can see
But you now fire back for their tracers leave tracks
Pointing out the places where they must be

Though a gun's taken out, there's another, no doubt
And so you must continue the game
And you know in this fight that the value of life
On the other side is not quite the same

Battles raging, it's all staging as your mind denies
Another way you can

I see a figure in my rifle sight who does not know that he's there
And as I hesitate to take his life
The ground explodes, my blood, it flows
My heart is racing, time's escaping as I feel it slowly scraping by
