about

We can't run anymore.

lyrics

Black fire licks the walls
Here and around and everywhere.
And I’m SO TIRED

There's blood down every passageway.
We’re so far from the sun now
And I’m SO TIRED
SO TIRED
SO TIRED
SO TIRED

I CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.
I CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.
I CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.
I CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.

There’s no up here… no down.
Time doesn’t move, or it moves like in a dream.
We gotta WAKE UP.

Our demons seem to know where we’re going
Which is more than we can say for ourselves.
We gotta WAKE UP.
WAKE UP
WAKE UP
WAKE UP

WE CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.
WE CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.
WE CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.
WE CAN’T RUN ANYMORE.

More than half our men were dead, the rest wounded.
The paladin had gone missing.
Horses gone, food gone.

So what was it that got us to our feet
When we heard voices crying out down the way?
They howled STAND TALL.

What was it that got us to our feet
When we heard the beasts snarling down the way?
They called out
STAND TALL
The horn of vengeance heralded their
DOWNFALL
I whispered an incantation and cast a
FIREBALL
Take ‘em! Hit ‘em! Wreck their shit up! Burn it all down!

In the fearsome deep,
In the endless night.
See this darkened world.
See it through new eyes.

Be the hope of dawn.
Be the cleansing light.
Form the troops on me
And go and join the FIIII-IIIIGGT!

Straight forward
End this endless torture
Straight forward
On and on, on and oh-on

Straight forward
Keep the bastards cornered
Straight forward
On and on, on and oh-on

Daysiders
HELL spawn surROUNDing us
Daysiders
Don’t let. The DARKNESS IN!

Daysiders
SHOULder to SHOULder, lads
Daysiders
Unleash. The LIGHT WITHIN!

Exhaustion pulls our bones,
Starvation’s looming large.
We can’t run anymore.
But we can damn sure charge.

To the horn’ed god,
This vow we take:
We’ll see justice done
We’ll see you unMADE!

Straight forward
End this endless torture
Straight forward
On and on, on and oh-on

Straight forward
Keep the bastards cornered
Straight forward
On and on, on and oh-on

Daysiders
HELL spawn surROUNDing us
Daysiders
Don’t let. The DARKNESS IN!

Daysiders
SHOULder to SHOULder, lads
Daysiders
Unleash. The LIGHT WITHIN!

Daysiders
HELL spawn surROUNDing us
Daysiders
Don’t let. The DARKNESS IN!

Daysiders
SHOULder to SHOULder, lads
Daysiders
Unleash. The LIGHT WITHIN!

They can’t run anymore!
They can’t run anymore!
They can’t run anymore!
They can’t run anymore!
