A song for the apocalypse, and for going down fighting.
lyrics
First stop found a new direction
And I can't read your thoughts with no inflection
Better get down
Get down
Full stop but it's coming closer
Asks you if there's something wrong and you whisper "no, sir"
You should get down
Just get down
It's getting late in the day
And the sun is almost out
Inhale the stench of decay
And your time is almost out
So get down
Feel the air kiss your new-drenched skin
Tonight's gonna be another rough one
Close your eyes and let the silence take you in
Gonna be another rough one
So let's begin
Size up all your opposition
Can't afford to give away your own position
Better stay low
Stay low
Size counts in a backwards town
But you better stay standing just to take them down
So just stay low
Stay low
It's getting late in the day
So find your shelter now
They're coming out soon to play
And they rule the overground
Feel the air kiss your new-drenched skin
Tonight's gonna be another rough one
Close your eyes and let the silence take you in
Gonna be another rough one
So let's begin
Forget the world
It's their turn now
Forget your heart
Just get out
Feel the air kiss your new-drenched skin
Tonight's gonna be another rough one
Close your eyes and let the silence take you in
Gonna be another rough one
Feel the claws slash your red-stained skin
Tonight's gonna be another rough one
Clear your mind and let the violence drag you in
Gonna be another rough one
And you're all in
