Lyrics


1. ALL I HAVE

I have not lost my way
Against the heavy tides of normalcy
Some faces fade
And still I carry on into the day

Don't want to see the end I know
It takes so much to not let go
Don't want to carry on alone
But time will take what's owed

This time is all I have
I don't ask for much and likely need much less
I'd rather die
Than see my life turned grey by thoughts that bind


2. THE FORGOTTEN

I don't know why things seem so faint
I speak aloud but no one can hear me
For just one word I'd do anything
Because this silence has become more than I can take

I want to see into your eyes
I want to feel the blood that flows
I want to know again the life I left behind
I want to hear you speak my name
I want to feel you at my side
I want to follow you to where I was before

I can't go on much longer like this
The pain of the forgotten can not be healed
As another day goes by
In my silent prison cell
Another year is lost
As I pray to end this hell

Here I walk forever more, forever dying
I want to see life through your eyes
I want to sleep and never wake
When will the walls fall down into the earth?


3. LEGEND

I watched the end
I watched the virus take them one by one
I saw them rise
To walk the night in hunger ever more

I am alone
A walking legend, proof of what's gone by
And I live to fight
I'll take them down until my final cry

Destroy!
I am the Last man


4. THE DEVIL'S EYES

Well I've never been accused of being a good man
And the roads I've walked you wouldn't want to see
And I don't look to God to find forgiveness
For a demon walks this lonely road with me

I can't find a better way
If I can't find the light of day

Well I once knew love when I was just a young man
And this girl became the whole damned world to me
But in my devil's eyes a lie was hidden
And so I spilt her blood while she lay there asleep

Well if I've killed once I've killed a hundred times
But I'd guess that most of them deserved their fate
Some nights I swear that I can hear the dead ones screaming
From far below the waters black and deep

The rising tide brings the end of life
As the rising tide brings the end of a day


5. DEAD WILL WALK

Graves, another empty grave, the dead rose up and made their way
Into the waking world
Dead, another walking dead, stumbles through the foggy streets
Toward the human screams
Words have little meaning now, the hordes have killed all in their way
The future never came
Time, another age is born, the few survivors live in fear
For the fight is lost

And I feel there's no more time for us
When hell is full the dead will walk the earth


6. THE STRANGER

Darkness comes like fear into the waiting world tonight
I watch the full moon gather through the black clouds in the sky
Another dim-lit room with staring shadows all around
I sit and wait for them to change with bloodshed on my mind

The air is filled with screams tonight
The air is filled with madness
I will fight until they claim my life
I have become what I despise

They watch me still with cat-like eyes that see into my thoughts
The moon is creeping higher through the heavy, stagnant air
Soon the change will happen and I'll let my silver fly
My judgment falls, a heavy fist, until Death takes my life

I look into my past to find the reasons why I'm left alone
My heaven, will be revenge for those I've lost to them


7. FINAL WORDS

I can't find my way, I fear I've gone too far
The war is done but my struggle's just begun
I can't feel my hands, the weather's turning harsh
I travel on beneath the ash that falls like snow

An endless night,
Into an age when time has died
All that remains is the want to survive

Wander through decay
I step through the ruin of all I've known
Gone is the sun
Gone is our hope today

The sky above is grey as far as I can see
And I'm so cold, I know that I can't walk much more
I think I'll rest a while though I may not wake
But I can't care, all those I've loved have long been dead


8. BENEATH

Everything is rising again
The things I thought were dead
The past is trying to breath
To tear apart this life

Everything is dying away
Against my dying will
Against my dying cries
The world is turning red

I see no pain
I feel no pain
Until the end
To wake beneath the rain

I know nothing lasts so long
My patience waits
I feel no remorse
I know no pain

Beneath this, beneath this there once was hope
There once was warmth
Just one word, just one prayer is all I need
To save me from myself
