Shell Shocked
Verse 1 - No man’s land barren wasteland, cesspool of mud and shit
No haven for man or beast, hells fire is lit
Chorus 1 – War is the Hell men tend to dwell fighting to take control
I’m just a man made to fight, I fear for my soul
Verse 2 - Bone cracking cold fatal disease, warm and dry is never seen
Modern weapons deadly arsenal, feeds the killing machine
Chorus 2 - War is the Hell men tend to dwell fighting to take control
I’m just a man made to fight, No rest for my soul
Verse 3 – Keep your head down stay alive, the battle draws near.
Waiting for the order, try to squash the fear.
Live for your buddies not yourself, ‘cos the enemy is in control
Aiming sight trigger pull, sniper just took your soul.
Chorus 3 - War is the Hell men tend to dwell fighting to take control
I’m just a man made to fight, wanting to save my soul.
Verse 4 – Chlorine gas everywhere, Zeppelins fill the sky
Cannons blast as volleys fly, is this the day we die?
Bunker walls quivering from giant angry shell.
Time to fight time to kill send them all to hell
OVER THE TOP!!
Verse 5 - Boots don’t grip in the slop and mire, poison gas setting lungs on fire
Flesh being torn by barbed wire wall, watch helplessly as your buddies fall
Balls of lead shredding guts, broken bodies falling in bloody ruts
Enter the realm fight hand to hand, stab a man’s heart for an acre of land
Bridge - Colorless world of smoke and mud, quickly becomes a sea of blood
Verse 6 - Next day battle is done, sit and reflect in the cold pale sun
How many more losses, draws and wins? Breathe young man and count your sins
Chorus 4 - War is the Hell men tend to dwell fighting for control
I was a man made to fight, this war consumed my soul
Verse 7 – Battle is lost I’m home alone, Still hearing the death knell toll
The men I killed, the men I slayed, war is a bloody game, and I played
Each I sent to his final place, I still see the horrors in their face
No friends left, they’re all underground, cannons and voices incessantly sound
Why was I spared? Left to grieve, demons nightly haunt without reprieve
No rest for me is this Gods will? Needing solace my final kill.
