Welcome to the Apocalypse

[Intro - sleazy hard rock riff, sirens, church bells, crowd noise] (Welcome!) (Welcome!) (Welcome to the Apocalypse!) [Spoken] Alright listen up. This ain't Eastgarde anymore. [Verse 1 - swaggering hard rock] Welcome to the Apocalypse Grab a hammer, grab a spear If your plan's to hide in church all day Don't bother staying here Welcome to the Apocalypse Church bells ringing every night If you're waiting for somebody else You're somebody else's fight Some folks pray and some folks panic Some folks smoke and waste the day Meanwhile zombies hit the north wall Guess who has to make them pay? [Pre-Chorus] Tick tock Time's up The dead don't give a fuck [Chorus - huge gang vocals] WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE We've got walls to raise We've got zombies at the front gate Seven fucking days WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE Hope you came to bleed Cause the dead don't care about your feelings And demons don't care what you need (Hey!) (Hey!) (Hey!) [Verse 2 - nastier] You can spend all night discussing How you're feeling deep inside Meanwhile a dragon ate a child Half a mile outside You can tell THIS CAT he's ruthless You can call him mean and cold You can cry about his methods Or survive and grow old Christian's yelling battle orders Crag is feeding you all trout Everybody's pulling weight here Get to work or get the fuck out [Pre-Chorus] Stand up Move fast Or become the dead at last [Chorus] WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE We've got walls to raise We've got zombies at the front gate Seven fucking days WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE Hope you came to bleed Cause the dead don't care about your feelings And demons don't care what you need [Guitar Solo - wild Guns N' Roses style shred, chaotic and triumphant] [Breakdown - drums only, manic spoken shouting] YOU WANNA LIVE?! THEN FUCKING BUILD SOMETHING! YOU WANNA EAT?! THEN FUCKING GROW SOMETHING! YOU WANNA SLEEP?! THEN FUCKING GUARD SOMETHING! YOU WANNA CRY?! CRY WHILE YOU'RE FUCKING WORKING!!! (YEAH!) [Verse 3 - full band crashes back in] Every night another nightmare Every dawn another grave Yet somehow this church keeps standing Cause the strong do not break Anga says we're all insane here THIS CAT says she's probably right But when hell comes through the front door We're the ones who stay and fight [Final Chorus - maximum gang vocals] WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE We've got walls to raise We've got zombies at the front gate Seven fucking days WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE Hope you came to bleed Cause the dead don't care about your feelings And demons don't care what you need WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE Better learn it quick Nobody's coming here to save you Get a weapon, do your bit (Welcome!) (Welcome!) (Welcome to the Apocalypse!) [Outro - church bells, feedback, crowd chanting] (Welcome!) (Welcome!) (Welcome to the Apocalypse!) [Spoken] Now quit standing around and fucking do something. Or get the fuck out... [End]
