A dead man walking the bridges Death on his trail With a single-minded mission To evade extinction The colors, the battles It all fades in the rain Whatever it soaks Grinds away We're at war Defend the shore Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days I am Stranded And branded To waste away on this plane Whatever the stakes I can't escape my fate We're at war Defend the shore Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days This is the bullet, the gallows The end of the line Tie the rope one last time Pull me out From the end of days Can a stick become a rope? Revolt and build a ladder Can a stick become a hope? Revolt and climb the ladder Can the stick become my hope? Evaluate what really matters What really matters Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days This is the bullet, the gallows The end of the line Tie the rope one last time So pull me out Yeah pull me out Dark water Splashed across my face A black beach on the end of days Don't end my days
