LAST WALL — CHAPTER II: THE DEAD WALK FASTER

[Intro — Whispered / Distorted Radio] Day 2. We thought the attack was over. We were wrong. The dead aren't wandering anymore. They're hunting. [Verse 1] Morning comes with a crimson sun Counting the bodies of everyone Smoke still rises from the eastern gate We survived the night— But what did it take? Twenty remain, but the silence grows Nobody speaks of the ones below We stack the bodies beneath the rain And every face carries someone else's name I walk the walls with a bloodied hand Looking for signs we don't understand Footprints in mud where the dead should crawl Three sets of tracks— And they climbed the wall. [Pre-Chorus] The watchman screams from Tower Three Something's moving through the trees No shambling feet No hollow eyes They're running now. They're fucking alive. [Chorus] THE DEAD WALK FASTER! They're coming for us! Breaking through the darkness Turning hope into dust! WE BUILT THESE WALLS! But walls can't save us now! If hell is coming through the gates Then HELL WILL HEAR US HOWL! WE ARE STILL ALIVE! We refuse to disappear! If death wants everything we have THEN DEATH CAN MEET US HERE! [Verse 2] The first one hits the barricade A former soldier, now decayed But something burns behind his eyes Something that shouldn't be alive He dodges fire. He knows our guns. He tears through steel Like it weighs nothing The others follow Hundreds running I watch my captain raise his blade He whispers— "Don't let them reach the children." Then disappears beneath the wave. [Breakdown — Heavy / Slow] LOCK THE GATES! CUT THE POWER! BURN THE BRIDGES! THIS IS THE HOUR! No more running. No more fear. If we're going to die— WE DIE TOGETHER HERE! DUN. DUN. DUN. LET THEM COME! [Verse 3 — Fast / Aggressive] We fight through streets we used to know Past shattered homes and rivers of blood Every corner hides another face Every shadow could become the grave My closest friend falls at my side I drag him back but he screams— "Don't waste your life!" I turn around I hear the roar Hundreds of dead Behind the door I slam it shut I grab the chain My hands are shaking My heart's insane Then something whispers from the dark: "They're not the same." [Bridge — Clean / Atmospheric] We find a survivor Beyond the northern road A woman with a scar across her face And blood that isn't her own. She tells us the truth. The infection is changing. Some of the dead remember. Some can think. Some can speak. And somewhere beyond the mountains... Someone is controlling them. [Pre-Chorus — Building] The radio comes alive Through oceans of static A voice speaks softly: "You cannot hide forever." "We know where you are." "We know what you have." "And we're coming." [FINAL CHORUS] THE DEAD WALK FASTER! The end is closing in! There's nowhere left to run And nowhere left to hide! WE ARE THE LAST WALL! But now the wall is breaking! If this is where the world ends— THEN THIS IS WHERE WE STAND! RAISE THE FIRE! LOAD THE GUNS! SOUND THE ALARM! The night has only just begun! WE ARE STILL ALIVE! And that's enough to fight! Let every monster know our names— WE'LL DRAG THEM INTO THE LIGHT! [Outro — Whispered] Day 3. We abandoned the community. There were only twelve of us left. We headed north. Toward the mountains. Toward the source of the signal. And behind us... The dead didn't follow. They watched us leave. Almost as if... They wanted us to go. Radio static. "Welcome, survivors." "We've been waiting for you."
