Zombie - The Walking Dead

V5.5

[title silence… stretching…] THE WALKING DEAD [Verse 1] The streets are empty, skies are grey, no morning comes, no light of day. Just footsteps lost in dust and stone, and hollow eyes that stare alone. [Pre-Chorus] They move ahead with no direction, no heartbeat left, no recollection. The world collapsed in one last fall, and left us standing through it all. [Chorus] And they wander through the light, but they never see the night. The Walking Dead have risen here, from the earth, from buried fear. Oh, the dead are standing tall, in a world that lost it all. Only hunger drives them on, through every last and broken dawn. [Verse 2] A whisper crawls through door and wall, an echo of “we lived through all.” But flesh and hope have been erased, by endless hunger, endless chase. [Pre-Chorus] No prayer will bring them back again, no memory remains within. Just endless walking, cold and slow, through ruins of the life we know. [Chorus] And they wander through the light… but they never feel the night… The Walking Dead have risen here… and no one is left to hear… [Bridge] Maybe it was fire, maybe a word, that made the final silence heard. And all we were as human kind, is now just dust left far behind. [Final Chorus] And they wander through the light, but they never feel the night. The Walking Dead — no end in sight, only hunger, endless plight. Oh, the world is fading away, and we are gone, but still we stay.
