It's like a shockwave to your brain
A voice that makes you go insane
You feel that fire in your eyes
No more chains and no more ties
That freedom running in your vein
Under the pressure and the pain
You're getting just as cold as ice,
like you'd get 7 with one dice
When you're feeling wild, immature as a child
Like a need to hit the road, ride the lightning like a god
Feel like an atomic bomb
from the cradle to the tomb
From the desert to the pole,
just let there be rock 'n roll!
Even when you're feeling low
in the worst days that you might know
Try to pick up your guitar
Rise the volume to the stars
When you're feeling wild, immature as a child
Like a need to hit the road, ride the lightning like a god

Like a need to hit the road, ride the lightning like a god

Even when you're feeling low
in the worst days that you might know
Try to pick up your guitar
Rise the volume to the stars
Like a need to hit the road, ride the lightning like a god

As a logical resolution to the depressive, hard-times content of the rest of Desert Call, Myrath end the album with a statement about how playing metal takes your mind off the world, focused only on the passion within the music.
There is definitely a more straightforward, classic metal feel to Shockwave compared to the other songs, fitting the subject matter.
