lyrics

We parade beneath the giants
Treading with great care
Stepping lightly in their shadows
Where we’re going, we’re nowhere near
Directions scribbled on a napkin
Drawn beside words of great despair
I fought so hard to get to you
Found our home empty
This note on the door

Darling I have had to leave for
This place is no longer safe
I hope someday I find you
I will head towards the lake
Every inch of my being will fight
To hold you again at last
And we will start a whole new life
We’ll bury these bodies in our past

It’s been a long, long time now
Since I read those precious words
I’ve spent all my time fighting
With these dead, infected herds
I can’t tell what time it is
The clocks stopped long ago
Darkened silence surrounds us now
On the run, I will lay low

I hear them just beyond these walls
Every effort weaker than the last
I close my eyes and count to ten
Lost now where present meets past
Sallow skin upon a disfigured stance
Bereft of life, loved ones dropped one by one
Well the end isn’t near my dear
No, no, the end is here

Been a long, long time now
Since I’ve read those precious words
Spent all my time fighting
With these dead, infected herds

I hear them just beyond these walls
Every effort weaker than the last
I close my eyes and count to ten
Lost now where present meets past

I’ll fight them off ‘til there’s nothing left

The end is here they’re moving on
The end is here we’re dead and gone
