LAST WALL — CHAPTER I: THE BEGINNING

V5.5

[Intro — Distant Radio / Whispered] Static on the radio... The dead are at the gates. Lights are going out one by one. If you can hear me— RUN. [Verse 1] Six years since the sirens died Six years beneath a blood-red sky Concrete walls and rusted wire Every night we feed the fire Thirty souls behind these gates Counting bullets, counting days Children sleeping underground While the dead keep gathering round I hear them scratching through the steel A thousand hands that never heal We built this home from bones and fear But tonight... They're fucking here! [Pre-Chorus] Sound the alarm! Lock every door! They're climbing the walls! They're flooding the floors! I grip my rifle, face the night If I go down, then I go down fighting! [Chorus] WE ARE THE LAST WALL! We will never fall! When the dead come crawling We answer the call! BLOOD ON THE BARRICADE! Our sanctuary burns! I'll fight until my final breath I'll never let them take this world! [Verse 2] The eastern tower disappears Consumed by screams and human tears My brother's voice cuts through the smoke Then silence comes— The radio broke. I see the shadows cross the flame I hear my people scream my name The gates are bending, bolts give way There's no more time— We cannot stay! Grab the wounded! Get them inside! Leave the dead! Forget the pride! Every heartbeat is a ticking bomb Every second another one gone! [Pre-Chorus] The walls collapse! The darkness floods! The streets are red! The ground is blood! But through the smoke I see their eyes— My family is still alive! [Chorus] WE ARE THE LAST WALL! We will never fall! When the dead come crawling We answer the call! BLOOD ON THE BARRICADE! Our sanctuary burns! I'll fight until my final breath I'll never let them take this world! [Breakdown] LOW, SLOW, HEAVY One. More. Night. ONE MORE NIGHT! I've buried friends. I've buried kings. I've watched the dead Devour everything. You want my home? COME TAKE IT! You want my life? COME BREAK IT! I may be bleeding— I may be afraid— But I'll die standing ON THIS FUCKING GROUND! [Instrumental / Guitar Solo] [Verse 3 — Faster] Dawn breaks through the clouds of ash The streets are filled with shattered glass Half the town is burning still But somehow we're alive again Twenty left from thirty souls Twenty hearts beneath these walls We gather up the ones who remain And swear we'll never lose again I look beyond the ruined gate At endless armies waiting there The world outside is dead and cold But I can feel the morning air For every life we couldn't save For every name upon the grave I'll carry them beneath my skin And fight until the end begins! [Final Chorus] WE ARE THE LAST WALL! We will never fall! Even if the heavens break Even if the cities crawl! BLOOD ON THE BARRICADE! Let the dead surround! As long as one of us survives THE HUMAN HEART WILL MAKE A SOUND! WE ARE THE LAST WALL! Hear our battle cry! We don't fight because we're fearless— WE FIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE STILL ALIVE! [Outro — Clean Guitar / Distant Voices] The fires fade... The sun comes up... Behind these walls We count the living. One by one. And tomorrow... We fight again.
