Black Angels, The - The Sniper Lyrics






It's quiet and loud
No one hears it but us
Some starving and proud,
No one chooses but us

You can hide up upstream,
We will trap and scalp you
Change the colour of your skin,
But sure as night we'll find you

Never meant to hurt no one,
Only meant to move myself
Yeah, I try and I try,
'til I'm red in the face

We decide what goes inside your head

You see yourself in me
How'd you do that? How'd you?
Beyond your towers wall,
He waits on the killing call
And he tries and he tries,
'til he's red in the face

We decide what goes inside your head

  1. A.... R....

    Nothing more terrifying than hearing "we decide what goes inside your head" and at worst that means you'll be shot in the head and at best you have a bad trip or something lol.

  2. N.... ....

    Bad ass

  3. S.... Z....

    This song def is gonna be part of the big igloo soundtrack 2020

  4. L.... D....

    Should have been in Spec Ops The Line

  5. J.... R....

    It's quiet and loud
    No one hears it but us
    Some starving and proud,
    No one chooses but us

    You can hide up upstream,
    We will trap and scalp you
    Change the color of your skin,
    But sure as night we'll find you

    Never meant to hurt no one,
    Only meant to move myself
    Yeah, I try and I try,
    'til I'm red in the face

    We decide what goes inside your head

    You see yourself in me
    How'd you do that? How'd you?
    Beyond your towers wall,
    He waits on the killing call
    And he tries and he tries,

    �.... �....

    Ды а что тут общаться, просто красавцы, одна из.лучших групп на данный момент в мировом роке. Конкретно эта песня очень напоминает мне Цеппелинов, которых я очень сильно люблю

  7. J.... H....

    DAYumm!! I forgot this one, I heard it Friday the day after Thanksgiving
    at The Golden Goose Bar in Austin Texas. 👊☀🍻🍷🍸🎶🔊

  8. H.... J....

    Fuck me running.

    H.... J....

  13. H.... S....

    3rd black angels song I've heard.
    I like more and more with each 1!!!!

  14. T.... D....

    This is everything I thought rock should sound like but never quite got

  16. C.... L....

    Keeps remindin me of Ozzy 68'

  17. M.... B....

    Great song! Great band!

  18. G.... P....

    They sound like a modern Jefferson airplane

  19. C.... B....

    this should have been in spec ops the line

  20. T.... F....

    The lyrics are so haunting.. and mysterious.. its great

    T.... F....

    Not much mystery. Most of their songs are about vietnam

  21. B.... M....

    Someone said they sound like Link Wray. I totally hear the surf sound too but they took it and made it dark which is so sexy and fantastic. 😍🙌🏻

  22. !.... ....

    awesome sound

  23. A.... R....

    EXCACTLY

  24. M.... O....

    mein Lieblings Lied von den Black Angels

  25. S.... o....

    Checked the lyrics and I'm disappointed as I always heard: "Never meant to hurt no one, only meant to be myself. Yeah, I try and I try, tell 'em right in the face!

    S.... o....

    +Suspect on foot[FIN] well, the first part can be seen as the same, I think. The way I see it, "only meant to move myself" can easily be seen as "only meant to be myself"

    S.... o....

    Nothing disappoints me about this band.

  26. r.... ....

    Thanks for this!!!!

  27. k.... h....

    I just see the most laid back sniper ever, like he is just sitting on a ridge drinking a coffee and anytime he sees a target just scrambles for the rifle,and of course playing the music in the background because he loves his job and felt it was appropriate.  

    Y.... ....

    This sniper isn't gonna live very long 😅

    Y.... ....

  33. W.... G....

    saw them a few nights ago. well these guys were a full on fucking religious experience.I swear. they opened with this song (with an extended intro). and when they first started there were smoke machines, and dark blue and bright lights flooding the stage.they came on, and all you could see were the bands silhouettes.they played some eerie intro stuff, and then Alex(the singer)silhouette was seen walking up to the mic.then his silhouette hunched over and sang.(iconic stance)they are fucking gods.

    W.... G....

    Wred Ginger I saw them back in 2010 and they blew my mind as well!

  34. b.... ....

  51. m.... ....

    Reminds me of Pulp Fiction a lot o.0

  52. m.... ....

    Anyone see my sniper rifle? It's green and i think someone just shot it.

  53. M.... J....

    Go and see him live and then you,ll understand mate

  54. K.... B....

    I didn't say I disliked him, I just am not a fan of him unless he's in Queens

  55. M.... J....

    WHAT!!!Wash out your mouth blasphemer!!QOTSA are great thats true but remember that Mark Lanegan has done a rather good job in complementing that band on many occasions.I regard Songs for the Deaf as their finest hour and Lanegan is on 5 of the tracks.

  56. K.... B....

    really, Mark Lanegan? I consider Queens of the Stone Age above him

  57. M.... J....

    Possibly their greatest song yet.May they continue this wonderful music alongside BRMC,The Black Keys,Duke Spirit and God i.e. Mark Lanegan

  58. m.... ....

    no, he IS the sniper...

  59. R.... H....

  82. j.... ....

    Super cool song.

  83. V.... M....

    All the dreams are the same.
    Square shades of grey.
    Melancholy waves fight for air.
    Surrender to the beast says the bird with two heads.

    Do not forgive the splendor.
    Live in greed...a black darker than night.
    Time to make amends to glory.
    Failure.

    Willfully walk without sight.
    Close your ears and let the mind listen.
    Sense the presence.
    Live without life.

    End.

  84. S.... F....

    Great song.
