What about SHUTDOWN in capital letters, and if it's entered normally a
warning that it should be on capital letters?

Is there any CAPS LOCK fan?

And the void rumbles in
Like an underground train
Forever comes closer
The world is in pain
We all must be shown, we must realise
That everyone changes and everything dies
