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?
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?
