Shell Shock Songtext
von Memoriam

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
