Shell-Shocked - Insanity Alert

Down in trenches

Blood on my hands

Doing all that I can to survive

Bombs in the day

Chlorine in the night

Will I make it out here alive?

Death and destruction, fear and demise

Take their toll on the human mind

Can’t close my eyes

Can’t stay awake

Shellshocked!

Re-living the nightmare

Numb and exhausted, must stand my ground

I’m the last one defending the line

Turn off the light

Or they might find us

Shellshocked!

No one can patch up this wound

Out of the trenches

Alone in the field

Barb wire cuts into flesh

Enemy fire

When, do I wonder

Will I get out of this mess?

I can’t control my mind, I’m running loose

My rifle in my hand

Knee-deep in mud, this trench will be my grave

This is my final stand

The blood I’ve spilled, the men that I have killed

Their ghosts are hunting me

I can’t see straight, my eyes have seen too much

Who will remember me?
