[Verse 1] Strike Squad Five, no rest tonight Swamp mud up to the throat-line The locals warned us, "black dragon" We ran it down into the dark line It bathed us clean in acid rain Skin hissed, armor held the pain Then Ice Dragon swallowed the soul And took the crown from the flame (Pay the toll, pay the toll) We watched a Predator strike the Mad Shadowman [Double-Time Verse] (No time, no time) [Double-Time Verse] Double-time feet in the fen, go Members falling, still we bend, go Jaded Ice Dragon, sick of the graves Samurai blade at the edge, never saves space God-descendant stone with the thunder in the chest Sailor keeps smiling through the worst of the mess And the human with two souls, he said "use me" Body turned weapon, a pain battery! No time to sleep No time to kneel We keep on moving Through blood and zeal No room to break No room to pray Strike Squad Five Just burn and stay [Chorus] Strike Squad Five We don't slow down Strike Squad Five We drag the dark out Strike Squad Five Keep the oath alive Strike Squad Five We don't come back [Verse 2] Sailor led us to the tower Looked like a church with teeth First floor tried to drown us whole Ice bent the water to her will, sea-sleek Second floor lit us for ash Samurai sprinted through the blast Third floor gave us a titan golem We broke its shine before it could last Fourth floor locked the doors tight Ice lost an arm to buy us light Sailor climbed for the final step Found that harpy girl in midnight drape (Beautiful) Darkness soaked in her hair and breath We took her hand and ran [Double-Time Verse] [Double-Time Verse] Through the portal, another realm Human experiment, split and strong He turned to a ballista jaw And tore the alien tide along Alien ship with human bones Holy stone steps woke the swarm We grabbed the organs, strange and warm Flesh mountain started hunting hard [Bridge] [Bridge] And the monster swallowed us whole For a breath, the world went cold Inside the throat of a godless beast We carved our way back to the street Jaded cursed the dead behind Samurai kissed the blade goodbye Stone man prayed with a cracked-out sky Sailor said, "There's good in everyone" [Final Chorus] Strike Squad Five We don't slow down Strike Squad Five We drag the dark out Strike Squad Five Keep the oath alive Strike Squad Five No time to rest tonight Strike Squad Five We don't slow down Strike Squad Five We drag the dark out Strike Squad Five Keep the oath alive Strike Squad Five We survive, we survive
