Notes: The end of this song was obviously inspired (stolen) from Rush's 2112. Well, they took care of everything... the words I hear... the songs I sing...
lyrics
The walls still shake as the way leads underground
In a trail of rubble and decay
Dead escalators and advertisements on the walls
Drive us to an underground railway
"We have 6 minutes before these halls collapse
Everybody get inside the train
The nukes will purge whatever we have left
Everyone retreat at my command"
All hell break loose as fire is open on our backs
Hopeless like rats driven straight into a trap
Waiting for answers or doom to meet my way
A surge of adrenaline moves my body into a
Bloody rampage grabbing guns and shooting
Aimlessly towards darkness viciously
My instincts get so pleased for every bullet that is fired
Familiarity in the fragrance of this burning powder
Among the chaos all around...
A awkward truce settles down...
As something big pounds the ground...
and it creaks... heavy junctions of a machine beast
and it stings... red beams on every moving thing
"Fire at will!!! Or until our last gasp
Someone set this up, we fell into a trap"
Sentinel - Bringer of the void
Deployed to seek - Commit and destroy
I leap into the train in a struggle to stay alive
Drawing the attention of the of this bringer of demise...
But the doors close on time! Oh yeah!
"You cannot escape!!! I’ll crush you like a roach
Like I did a thousand times, I’ll rip your balls from your throat"
The doors hold the beast but this won't last so long
Someone make this train move, or soon we'll all be done.
The sound of machinery,
And electricity,
Grinding all so sweet,
Fills the air as a symphony
Ground... shakes... as... the nukes that had been
Spoken... blow up... scorching all the way up to
Glasses of this train... shattering all around me
Engulfed up in flames... I cover up and hope to live
