[Sabaton - Camouflage lyrics]
I was a P.F.C. on a search patrol
Huntin' Charlie down
It was the jungle wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got
Stuck way out all alone
And I could hear the enemy
Movin' in close outside
Just then I heard a twig snap
And I grabbed my empty gun
And I dug in scared while
I counted down my fate
And then a big marine
With a pair of friendly eyes
Appeared there at my shoulder
And said "Wait."
"If Charlie wants to tangle now
He'll have two to dodge"
I said, "Well
Thanks a lot!" I told him my
Name and asked him his
And he said "The boys
Just call me Camouflage"
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big Marine
Well, we fought all night, side by side
We took our battle stance
And I wondered how the
Bullets missed this man
'Cause they seemed to go right through him
Just as if he wasn't there
And in the mornin' we both
Took a chance and ran
And it was near the riverbank
When the ambush came
And I thought it was the end, and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on
It came buzzin' through a bush
And that big Marine
He just swat it with his hand
Just like it was a fly
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big Marine
When he led me outta danger I
Saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the
Jungle and then he was gone
And when I got back to my H.Q.
I told 'em about my night
And the battle I'd spent with
A big Marine named Camouflage
When I said his name, a soldier gulped
And a medic took my arm
And led me to a green tent on the right
He said "You may be tellin' the truth, boy
But this here is Camouflage
And he's been right here since
He passed away last night
But before he went, he said Semper Fi
And said his only wish
Was to save a young Marine caught in a mirage
"So here, take his dog tag, son
I know he'd want you to have it now"
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big Marine
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine
Huntin' Charlie down
It was the jungle wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got
Stuck way out all alone
And I could hear the enemy
Movin' in close outside
Just then I heard a twig snap

And I dug in scared while
I counted down my fate
And then a big marine
With a pair of friendly eyes
Appeared there at my shoulder

This was an awfully big marine
