Shell Shock

In this shattered landscape paralysed with fear There is no escape, you scream, nobody hears Mind is frozen, full of dread, none can help you now All around now lay the dead, no life can be found Crawling through no man's land across the mud and wire Regrouped for one last stand, caught in the crossfire Maxim burst, spitting forth a hail of certain death Creating a hell on Earth, gasp at your last breath You may live through this to fight another day The horror of it all will never fade away The pain that grows deep inside your mind Inner tranquility you will never find Lost all senses, far beyond control This inner anguish eats away your soul A living nightmare, all memory now blocked You body shaking, a victim of shell shock Awaiting in your prison cell, the time is drawing near No chance for last farewells, lucidity unclear The court martial has ordered you shall be shot at dawn Tied to a stake, blindfolded, life now gone Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock Shell shock
