[Eerie whistling melody in the dark] [Ominous heavy bass intro, very slow and menacing] [Sudden explosion of crushing guitar riffs] [Verse 1] Kneel in the dirt, the forest is cold The story of freedom is suddenly old Trapped in the headlights, surrounded by dread Waiting to see who will join with the dead The saviors are many, the exits are gone You thought you were right, but you got it all wrong [Verse 2] He steps from the shadows, a smile on his face The master of terror, the end of the race A leather clad tyrant with blood on his boots He’s tearing your courage right down to the roots A weapon of wood wrapped in wire and pain Tonight he is leaving a terrible stain [Pre-Chorus] Eeny meeny miny moe Catch the victim, let him go Hear the whistle in the night Say goodbye to the morning light! [Chorus] Welcome to the sanctuary of pain! Where the blood is falling down like rain You work for me now, you surrender your soul I am the fire, I am the control Broken and beaten, you swallow your pride There is nowhere left to hide! [Verse 3] The first one is taken, the skull hits the ground The weeping of survivors is the only sound You look at the leader, his spirit is cracked There's no moving forward and no turning back The bat is so thirsty, it sings in the air Welcome to the kingdom of utter despair [Pre-Chorus] Eeny meeny miny moe Catch the victim, let him go Hear the whistle in the night Say goodbye to the morning light! [Chorus] Welcome to the sanctuary of pain! Where the blood is falling down like rain You work for me now, you surrender your soul I am the fire, I am the control Broken and beaten, you swallow your pride There is nowhere left to hide! [Bridge] [Tempo slows down to a heavy, dragging beat] Look at me! I am the law! Everything you built is a fatal flaw. I'll take half your food, I'll take half your life, I am the hammer, I am the knife! [Guitar Solo] [Chaotic, fast, aggressive guitar solo] [Pounding double bass drum driving the rhythm] [Chorus] Welcome to the sanctuary of pain! Where the blood is falling down like rain You work for me now, you surrender your soul I am the fire, I am the control! [Outro] We are all Negan. [Sound of a heavy thud, echoing] [Slow guitar fade out]
