We went down slow Into the cave Wet stone skin On every wall Their backs broke through From the cracks below Sticky black slime On the jagged floor Claws on rock That sparks the dark A guttural roar From deep in the hole Run, run The commander screamed Run, run But it was already gone They closed the ring No path left open Their black maws glowed In the dark like wounds Too late, too late (too late) We saw the teeth Too late, too late (too late) They came for me Hold the line, hold the line Then watch it break Too late, too late (too late) Nothing to take I kept my gun It felt like stone Pulled the trigger hard And fed it smoke They wouldn’t die They only turned Like old deep pain You cannot burn One by one The brave went down Boots in the mud And blood in the sound We came in proud We left with fear Empty hands And no one here Run, run The commander screamed Run, run But it was already gone They closed the ring No path left open Their black maws glowed In the dark like wounds Too late, too late (too late) We saw the teeth Too late, too late (too late) They came for me Hold the line, hold the line Then watch it break Too late, too late (too late) Nothing to take Only a few made it out With torn-up lungs Only a few made it out And no prize in their hands I still hear that roar In the stone below I still see that glow When the room goes cold Too late, too late (too late) We saw the teeth Too late, too late (too late) They came for me Hold the line, hold the line Then watch it break Too late, too late (too late) Nothing to take
