Salvo

Out beyond the recon point

Battle weary nerves now frayed

One step closer to oblivion

Abandoned life the price to pay

The final sacrifice - ushered to the grave

There is no time to run or hide

No chance to pray

Mankind's legacy - past knowledge saved

Glory not given - respect is made

Stranded in no man's land

Water always tastes the same

Trapped within this shell hole

There is no shelter from the steel rain

Dead men again

Still unchallenged

Forging on

No respite

Until this war is won

Relentless barrage never ceasing

Artillery has found its range

Caught within the crossfire

There is no shelter from the steel rain

Dead men again

White-hot shrapnel fills the sky

Advancing ever onwards

Conditioned reflex feel no pain

At the point beyond insane

There is no shelter from the steel rain

There is no shelter from the steel rain

Dead men again
