First Wave 05:39
They will find you Infect you Destroy you There's no hiding Just fighting None guiding See them laying They're staying Where they are Hear them crying My God they're dying They're so very far away Do you remember? That long hot summer Off to battle Off to war What were we even fighting for Hard to fight alongside your brother While fighting for survival itself Your body at war with itself Give it a gun and watch it turn on you Rebellious mass of bones and blood See all the death as your tears turn to mud I know you think you're safe from all of this But you are death's first kiss You are death's first kiss Death will find you And make you its own Death will hunt you down And make you its own
2.
I was in the prime of my life Nothing could happen to me Just lay your worries down You'll be alright just you see The other ones were weak Maybe now you will listen to the voice in your head Telling you to stay far away This world has No place for youthful ambition Green behind the ears, thinking that you can save the day One day You'll see How wrong you are
3.
Claustrophobic holes Filled with the living dead This is no way to live So we're killing instead Give me your sick Your tired hungry masses Before they become Nothing but ashes Nothing but ash Dead men tell no tales but a picture's worth a thousand words Graves mere figments of imagination Because the diggers were ill Mass graves dug by steam shovels Coffinless Nothing but flesh stacked on more flesh Is this the reckoning We've been fearing The reckoning Is this the reckoning Save me from death
4.
If I could request an audience with Death himself I would ask him why he needs so many souls in hell Is there a deficiency? A quota you need to fill? Just give me back the ones I love So my life can have more substance than this broken and empty shell I don't care who you bring back as long as they're okay I'm sure they would be quite thrilled to get another day Staving off the pain of death Now pestilence vomit up your prey Just give me back the ones who died
5.
Listen to me Enough with this morbidity Let's dance the night away one more time Party with me No more exclusivity All are welcome just remember it's on your dime Take up your partner, spin them round and round Let all your cares go, do you hear that sound? It's liars and cheaters just doing what they love It's killers and stealers but who are they really taking from? Listen to me So you're dying, well you're not the only one You, should be taking care Of those worse off than you It's not more than you can bear Just do all that you can do When it's all over We'll be okay Before it gets colder We'll make them pay Ships will clutter up the brine But when it's over we'll be fine Come have peace Rest with me This war will cease You will see
6.
Get me out of here now Take me somewhere safer I know that you can, I know Take me now, Take me now Take me home Take me home Ignorance is dead Ignorance is dead Comfort the widow Blissfulness For Ignorance is dead Give me back the ones who died
7.
As I lie here, knowing the end is near I think about the calamity and how widespread the devastation Wondering what the legacy of all this will be, Will people speak in hushed tones about this most deadly few years? Whispered prayers that it will never happen again? Or is there more to come? Is this merely the beginning of the end of humanity? Will this be the forgotten little bump in the road leading to the cliff? I'll never know either way. I can tell the end is here But there's just one thing I have to tell you before I say Goodbye I love you
