[Verse 1] Barricade snaps like a brittle bone Heavy iron rolling on the shattered stone Empty chamber clicking in a shaking hand Dust washing over what is left of the land Too many boots, too many guns Black smoke eating up a thousand suns Torn red banners drag across the street Pounded in the dirt by a million feet [Chorus] Here comes the tide, breaking the wall Watching the last of the towers fall They don't slow down, they don't retreat Grinding our bones in the city street Look at the sky, look at the dust Turn every promise into ash and rust Truth of the matter cutting like a lance God help us, we never had a chance [Verse 2] Signal went dark on the radio wire Choked in the sulfur and the diesel fire Ran out of bullets, ran out of breath Trading out minutes for a sudden death They don't even aim, they just flood the gate Drowning out the fury and the citizen hate No line to hold, no ground to keep Piling up the bodies three men deep [Chorus] Here comes the tide, breaking the wall Watching the last of the towers fall They don't slow down, they don't retreat Grinding our bones in the city street Look at the sky, look at the dust Turn every promise into ash and rust Truth of the matter cutting like a lance God help us, we never had a chance [Bridge] (Dragging, suffocating low-end chugs, sudden dead-stop cuts) We broke their front... they sent ten more. We held the street... they took the floor. No miracle coming. No cavalry ride. Just an endless black On the other side. [Guitar Solo / Heavy Crushing Rhythm Breakdown] [Chorus] Here comes the tide, breaking the wall Watching the last of the towers fall They don't slow down, they don't retreat Grinding our bones in the city street Look at the sky, look at the dust Turn every promise into ash and rust Truth of the matter cutting like a lance God help us, we never had a chance [Outro] (Distortion fades to a low, droning hum with cold gated hits) No ground left. No rounds left. Silence on the wire. We never had a chance.
