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
