lyrics

In the land of trenches and warfare
Where flesh is acquainted with lead
Casualties everywhere
A surplus of the dead.

The military wages and healthcare
Offered to soldiers, destroyed
An insurance plan beyond compare
Providing postmortem employ

War supplies these days include the bodies of the men
Reanimation ensures that they will rise to march again!
The Trench Man stands and fires from a freshly pre-dug grave
A second chance to avenge the life he gave!

Now, there are several kinds
Of various veteran programs
But there is only one you will find
That makes proper use of the damned.

In the wake of tragic attrition
Young men dying in scores
Pumped full of live ammunition
They'll rise again to take some more.

War supplies these days include the bodies of the men
Reanimation ensures that they will rise to fight again!
The Trench Man fights from muddy depths for victory and pride
Standing united with the ones that fought and died by his side.

Professional placement in peacetime
There's no honor in being entombed

The infantry are so easily forgotten after all they do.
But when they come back as zombies
And return home from overseas
The grisly, discharged soldiers can complain for all eternity!

War supplies these days include the bodies of the men
Reanimation ensures that they will rise to serve again!
The Trench Man could be working in your local grocery store
Unliving proof of the ravages of war!
