[Gentle acoustic guitar and slow, melancholic piano] [Soft, emotional vocals begin] [Verse 1] The fire burns low in the underground deep I'm closing my eyes, but I don't wanna sleep The walkers were many, the forest was blind I’m leaving the world of the living behind A bite in the struggle, a mark on my side I kept it a secret, I swallowed my pride [Verse 2] I'm writing these letters to say my goodbye Don't look at me father, please try not to cry I’ve walked through the ruins, I’ve carried the gun But my journey is over, my battles are done The fever is burning, it's taking my breath I'm walking the line between mercy and death [Pre-Chorus] Take off the hat, put it on your own head Remember the living, forgive all the dead There must be a future, there must be a way To build something better than killing today! [Chorus] [Distorted guitars and heavy drums enter] This is my last sunrise, painting the sky! I leave you my vision before I must die Your mercy must triumph, your anger must fade Walk out of the shadows, step out of the shade I'll see you again in a world without pain Just promise me, father, I don't die in vain! [Verse 3] [Music softens again, bass and piano only] Remember the prison, remember the farm We tried to keep everyone safe from the harm The governor's wrath and the sanctuary's fall We lost so many, we bled for it all But fighting the living will tear us apart You have to find peace in the depths of your heart [Pre-Chorus] [Building up heavily] Take off the hat, put it on your own head Remember the living, forgive all the dead There must be a future, there must be a way To build something better than killing today! [Chorus] [Massive symphonic arrangement joins the band] This is my last sunrise, painting the sky! I leave you my vision before I must die Your mercy must triumph, your anger must fade Walk out of the shadows, step out of the shade I'll see you again in a world without pain Just promise me, father, I don't die in vain! [Guitar Solo] [Slow, incredibly emotional crying guitar solo, very melodic] [Harmonized twin guitars joining in the climax] [Bridge] [Vocals soaring over heavy chords] Let the wrath die with me! Set the prisoners free! Build a bridge, plant a seed, Be the leader they need! [Outro] I love you, dad. [A single acoustic chord ringing out] [Slow piano fade out into total silence]
