The Thing

[Verse 1] White death blowing sideways, No horizon, no escape, Something crawled in with the dogs Wearing someone else’s shape. Radio is dead and buried, Storm has nailed us to the floor, Twelve men staring at each other— Maybe twelve, maybe one more. [Pre-Chorus] Lock the doors. Kill the lights. No one leaves alive tonight. [Chorus] Who’s the Thing? Who can you trust? Something’s hiding inside of us! Burn it down! Fight for your life! We cant let it off the ice! [Verse 2] Someone got into the blood bank, Someone cut the power line, Someone swears he heard it moving, Someone says he’s feeling fine. Tie them down around the fire, Heat the needle till it glows, Every drop becomes a verdict, Every twitch means someone knows. [Pre-Chorus] Lock the doors. Kill the lights. No one leaves alive tonight. [Chorus] Who’s the Thing? Who can you trust? Something’s hiding inside of us! Burn it down! Fight for your life! We cant let it off the ice! [Verse 3] I remember when I knew you, Now your voice just sounds rehearsed. You can tell me every secret, That just makes the feeling worse. Maybe I’m the one infected. Maybe I have lost my mind. Maybe every man I’m watching Sees the same thing in my eyes. [Bridge] No sleep. No mercy. No rescue coming through. One match. One bottle. And one of us is you. Faces bending, Bodies breaking, Something screaming from inside. Fire rising, Men still laughing— Madness has nowhere to hide. [Final Chorus] Who’s the Thing? Who can you trust? Something’s hiding inside of us! Burn it down! Fight for your life! We cant let it off the ice! Who’s the Thing? Who’s still alive? How do you know what’s behind those eyes? Burn it down! Fight for your life! We cant let it off the ice! [Outro] Two men sitting in the ruins, Sharing silence, sharing breath. Neither asking, neither blinking, Neither certain who is left. Snow keeps falling. Fire keeps dying. Nothing moving in the white. Maybe we stopped it. Maybe we didn’t. Maybe it survives the night.
