Lyrics
This is an emergency Find an exit, just find a way out of here. Please follow me, come quickly, No, don't hesitate and don’t move slowly. There’s no tomorrow. God, spare us please. Time is running out and they can’t hear us scream. Call to me, out from this grave. No not safe here, from all this world has made. Crawling out, saving grace. Once our home now merely our resting place. Moments flash before my eyes Making up all I’ve done in mind. Paralyzed in appalling sights Recurring nightmares, thought I’d left behind. And suddenly tremors, terror breaking in Never saw it coming, no chance to breathe. Now it’s on top of you, executing... Your very last thought, the last thing you see. And this sad song, it won’t save you. Victimized or plot? Time is running out and they can’t hear us scream. Another flash now blinds my eyes Erasing all, all that’s been done in time Paralyzed in appalling sights Firsthand nightmares, all now bound in mind. And how do you come back from this? Altered existence, focus on negligence. Rebuilding all you’ve ever known, And nothing but dust to call your own. Call to me, down amongst the dead. And who will remember this day even happened? Crawling, clutching ground. The lone survivor, you’re a miracle so sound. Nothing left to show your eyes Erased all, all that’s been done in time Paralyzed in appalling sights Firsthand nightmares, all now bound in mind. And how do you come back from this? Altered existence, focused on persistence. Rebuilding all you’ve ever known And nothing but dust to make your own. Take me now. Strike me down.
