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

Undefeated No retreat, no respite Acts of valour unrepeated "No pasarán!" the battle cry Still forging on Through advancing years The past now gone Yet the memory remains Filled with pride In victory triumphant Fear denied Until this war is won Undefeated No retread, no respite Acts of valour unrepeated "No pasarán!" the battle cry Undefeated Undefeated When there's nothing left, you cannot take much more Remember who you are and what you're fighting for When you find yourself with your back against the wall Look to your inner strength, take courage, stand tall Still stay strong Life moves on Undefeated Undefeated

Cast into - pit of despair Facing madness - alone your stare Insanity prevails - nothing remains At the point - end of life Into the void - the fading light As darkness grows - nothing remains Solemn vows - once declared Cast aside - without care Left behind - all hope of life Final twist - unsharpened knife Trapped within - no escape Grasped by dementia - none can save Scars inside - lie deep within Mass psychosis - the fear begins Fear begins Hysteria - loss control Hallucination - a dying world Twisted visions - what shall be Vast neurosis - increasing misery Bereft of feeling Dispossessed of pain Life not worth living Driving you insane Imposed delusions Mentally deranged No sense of reason Nothing remains

Well, it's a long way out to reach the sea But I'm sure I'll find you waiting there for me And by the time I'll blink, I'll see your wild arms swinging Just to meet me in the middle of the road And you'll hold me like you'll never let me go And beside the salty water, I could hold you close But you are far too beautiful to love me Well, it's a long climb up the dusty mountain To build a turret tall enough to keep you out But when you wage your wars against the one who adores you Then you'll never know the treasure that you're worth But I've never been a wealthy one before I got holes in my pockets burned by liars gold But I think I'm far too poor for you to want me It's been a long road, losing all I know You don't know what you got until you're gone And it's a nasty habit, spending all you have But if you're doing all the leaving, then it's never your love lost If you leave before the start, there was never love at all Heaven knows I'm prone to leave the only God I should've loved And yet you're far too beautiful to leave me

Onwards into battle one more time The strategy has been planned Passed down from the high command Calm befalls the frontline Prepared to fight ready to die At the point of no return The tension mounts as thoughts converge At zero hour the order comes On the silence of the big guns Across the wire Through the crossfire Keep pushing on All senses gone Into the breach Brutality unleashed Fighting for your life Fist, boot and trench knife Onwards Onwards into battle one more time Onwards Onwards into battle one more time The triumph of this victory Vanquished are the enemy Moving onwards another war Into battle to fight once more
