Buried alive yet once again, the earth heaves as though it breathes A deafening roar and a wave of soil, the taste of dirt in the mouth it leaves Dug out yet again by mates so dear It's not the shrapnel now we fear Buried for a minute you feel your mind slipping away The second time it happens your nerves begin to fray An unending barrage in this brown desolation My soul has been shaken to its foundation.
