The Dead Return to War - Planks

Fierce they stood in the brink of extinction

Deviously watching towards absolution

The walls could wait it out, but we couldn’t

Years felt as transient surcease

When absolute chaos broke lose

And there we stood, obtaining spellbound

Not afraid of the door but what lay behind it

Constant revision made closure imminent

Still we lost — Still we fell

We don’t speak the name of the dead

But faces, eyes and thoughts loomed large

And no, we didn’t forget a bit

This familiar dominance

Like a drug grants desperate moments of freedom

They broke open the gates

All caused by the love for decay
