Living dead or true survivors
In a world that’s twelve to five
Unaccomplished promises
Won’t keep us alive
All hope must be disregarded
‘Cause as we look into the sky
We might fall beneath the surface
And come across the lies

We don’t need to carry on
We don’t need to comprehend
And all we say is do or fail
‘Cause we all just missed the end

Hold on – take my hand
Promise all your lies
Hold on – stay with me
Perish in this world of ice

Once a sanctuary
Now conquered by a rat
Feasting on a roach it found
Sleeps in the company of the dead
And all our institutions
The facile and profound
And every brick of our ivory towers
Now lays scattered on the frozen ground

We don’t need to carry on
We don’t need to comprehend
And all we say is do or fail
‘Cause we all just missed the end

Hold on – take my hand
Promise all your lies
Hold on – stay with me
Perish in this world of ice
