Left behind

(Sounds and whispers, with dramatic noise)

Verse 1

So baby come here...

I feel so cold inside...

I’m chasing light...

In this hole beneath the ground...

Out there, there’s only hell...

And I’m still scared...

So please… come here...

Verse 2

That’s what I told myself

Before the sky dropped lead on us

They’re pumping gas… they’re killing slow

And fate just says — I stay below...

So I picked up my rifle

Held it tight, like it was warm

No one knows you're down here

So listen close — down here, it’s only us…

Chorus

AND WE STILL DON’T KNOW... IF SOMEONE’S WAITING

In that zone we call

THE DAMNED GROUND

No one knows what’s hiding

IN THOSE TUNNELS

That crush my chest...

And tear my heart apart...

Verse 3

There’s no sunrise... only black

All I breathe is sulfur, frost, and blood

My friends are dying, shaking from the cold

And we all know... the dawn is never coming back...

Verse 4

Then one morning… I hear the screams

Men tearing each other apart

All I know is I have to run

Because if I stop — I’m next in line...

Chorus 2

BUT WE STILL DON’T KNOW… WHO’S REALLY WAITING

In that house we

USED TO DREAM OF

With the family that

MAY STILL BELIEVE IN US

But deep down I know...

No one’s at home... waiting for me...

Bridge (melodic with strings)

And so it ends — a shot to the chest

I look down — blood spilling slow

From a hole where love once lived

I always knew… I’d never make it home...

Final Chorus / Breakdown (aggressive vocals, organ & strings underneath)

BUT AT LEAST I KNOW — NO ONE’S WAITING!

And this fear I hold

SCREAMS FOR VENGEANCE

But I’ve got no strength

NO ONE’S LEFT TO STAND WITH ME!

To avenge what’s gone

What’s more than all that’s left of me...
