[Epic orchestral intro with slow, heavy drum beats] [Building into fast, aggressive twin guitar riffs] [Verse 1] White lights and silence, a hospital bed Waking up lonely, surrounded by dead The flowers are withered, the hallways are cold A nightmare of blood that can never be told Pushing the doors with the warning inside Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide [Verse 2] Stumbling outside to a desolate street Nothing but shadows and shuffling feet The world that we knew is reduced to decay The heavens are falling and fading to grey A desperate journey to find what is lost Whatever the danger, whatever the cost! [Pre-Chorus] Riding alone on a highway of rust Searching for hope in a desert of dust The city of ruins is calling my name Nothing will ever be the same! [Chorus] Welcome to the end of the line! Where the sun forgets to shine Raise your weapon, fight for your life Through the sorrow, through the strife We are the walking, we are the brave Standing right at the edge of the grave! [Verse 3] Trapped in the city, an army of teeth The horrors above and the terror beneath Locked in a tank with a gun in my hand A voice on the radio, making a stand Running the rooftops, escaping the horde We forge a new family, wielding the sword! [Pre-Chorus] Riding away from the city of rust Leaving the ashes, the bone and the dust The fire of survival is calling my name Nothing will ever be the same! [Chorus] Welcome to the end of the line! Where the sun forgets to shine Raise your weapon, fight for your life Through the sorrow, through the strife We are the walking, we are the brave Standing right at the edge of the grave! [Bridge] [Slow heavy bassline, dark atmosphere] Who can we trust when the living turn cold? Who will be weak and who will be bold? The dead are just walking, the living are worse Trapped in this hell, trapped in this curse! [Guitar Solo] [Fast melodic twin guitar solo, very complex and shredding] [Double bass drum galloping rhythm] [Chorus] Welcome to the end of the line! Where the sun forgets to shine Raise your weapon, fight for your life Through the sorrow, through the strife We are the walking, we are the brave Standing right at the edge of the grave! [Outro] We will survive the night! Fight for the light! [Fast heavy drum fill] [Sudden stop with a ringing guitar chord]
