Lyrics
When grandfather told me the story
Recounting a story told by the grandfather
The nation still dreamed of the final victory
The nation had aspirations for a final victory
The white sniper roams through the night
Describing a white sniper moving at night
In the dark his eyes glow like red light
The sniper's eyes glow in the dark like red light
Attracted by the full moon power
Attracted by the power of the full moon
Scary and dangerous like a flamethrower
Portraying the sniper as scary and dangerous, akin to a flamethrower
He hunted through the forrest so deep
The sniper hunted deeply in the forest
Armed to the teeth lurking on the sheep
Armed and waiting, perhaps in a predatory manner
Lonely like a wolf you were a soldier in winter war
Comparing the soldier's loneliness to that of a wolf in the winter war
Lonely like a wolf you were called the white death
Highlighting the soldier's nickname, "the white death"
Lonely like a wolf fighting in the winter war
Emphasizing the soldier's loneliness while fighting in the winter war
Lonely like a wolf a deadly shot from afar
Describing the soldier's accuracy as a deadly shot from a distance
The sky was dotted with stars
Reference to a sky full of stars, possibly symbolizing battles
As many as men in hundreds of wars
Comparing the number of stars to the countless men in wars
Cold thick fog it was bitterly cold
Depicting a cold, thick fog during the bitter cold
Everyone heard how the wolf howled
Everyone hears the wolf's howl, a symbol of solitude
Lonely like a wolf you were a soldier in winter war
Reiteration of the soldier's loneliness in the winter war
Lonely like a wolf you were called the white death
Reaffirming the soldier's nickname, "the white death"
Lonely like a wolf fighting in the Winter War
Emphasizing the soldier's lonely fight in the winter war
Lonely like a wolf a deadly Shot from Afar
Highlighting the soldier's deadly accuracy from a distance
Lonely like a wolf you were a soldier in winter war
Continuation of the soldier's loneliness in the winter war
Lonely like a wolf you were called the white death
Reiterating the soldier's nickname, "the white death"
Lonely like a wolf fighting in the winter war
Reemphasizing the soldier's lonely fight in the winter war
Lonely like a wolf a deadly shot from afar
Underlining the soldier's deadly accuracy from a distance
A deadly shot from afar
Closing with the idea of a deadly shot from a distance
