Deep in a glacial blue abyss
An eerie light will shine,
And o’er the blazing desert sands
A burning sun will climb;
A haunting cry will echo down
The spiral halls of time:
SHELL-Shock,
...Shell-shock,
......Shell-shock.
A bouncing ball upon a cog
Each time will labored lift
Until it can arise no more
To writhe in tortured twist
And dies to silently implore,
What world and who is this?
SHELL-Shock,
...Shell-shock,
......Shell-shock.
