The Death March
In the cold of winter's fall
They planned to captivate us all
They would work us 'til our bones were broken and our souls followed
I met a man who saved my life
'Til this day I don't know why
He would smuggle gifts sent for me that would buy my life some time
Walking there were thousands of us
Nothing like you've seen before
With the ice beneath us, feet were frozen and our clothes were torn
But it would be a cold day in hell before I fall
In their dark and sunken eyes
Hope and humanity had died
All the feelings and emotions in them had been cauterized
You gave me something to believe
When the end was not in sight
As I drifted into darkness you provided me with light
Walking there were thousands of us
Nothing like you've seen before
With the ice beneath us, feet were frozen and our clothes were torn
It was a sea of dead shadows
Maybe I'll let the heavens take me
And save me from this life
Or is that giving up too easy?
I cannot let them win the fight
Another life awaiting me
I see the finish line
Nothing can stop me from living
The death march claims me no more
They're turning ordinary people
Into lifeless ghostly shadows
And I was powerless to stop them
Spreading death amongst us all
Still I can dream of a place far from here
Where we eat and we sleep
Never living in fear
Maybe I'll let the heavens take me
And save me from this life
Or is that giving up too easy?
I cannot let them win the fight
Another life awaiting me
I see the finish line
Nothing can stop me from living
The death march claims me no more
The death march claims me no more
They planned to captivate us all
They would work us 'til our bones were broken and our souls followed
I met a man who saved my life
'Til this day I don't know why
He would smuggle gifts sent for me that would buy my life some time
Walking there were thousands of us
Nothing like you've seen before
With the ice beneath us, feet were frozen and our clothes were torn
But it would be a cold day in hell before I fall
In their dark and sunken eyes
Hope and humanity had died
All the feelings and emotions in them had been cauterized
You gave me something to believe
When the end was not in sight
As I drifted into darkness you provided me with light
Walking there were thousands of us
Nothing like you've seen before
With the ice beneath us, feet were frozen and our clothes were torn
It was a sea of dead shadows
Maybe I'll let the heavens take me
And save me from this life
Or is that giving up too easy?
I cannot let them win the fight
Another life awaiting me
I see the finish line
Nothing can stop me from living
The death march claims me no more
They're turning ordinary people
Into lifeless ghostly shadows
And I was powerless to stop them
Spreading death amongst us all
Still I can dream of a place far from here
Where we eat and we sleep
Never living in fear
Maybe I'll let the heavens take me
And save me from this life
Or is that giving up too easy?
I cannot let them win the fight
Another life awaiting me
I see the finish line
Nothing can stop me from living
The death march claims me no more
The death march claims me no more
