the driver

well i'm driving on down the road
a wagon of whiskey to unload
radio's playing some sweet bluegrass
the air is clear and sun is high
swung a left out on westfield
but something jumped in front of me
i violently swerved to the side
hit a wall and it all went black
--------------
i'm just a driver in a strange town
looking to unload and get back home
i wasn't a hero by any means
i'm just an ordinary guy
----------------
i crawled out of the wreckage whole
the truck was a-fire - shot to hell
looked around and i saw a kid
attacked by monsters, the undead
hitting back the kid fought out
but his strength would surely go
a tyre iron i did grab
zombie brains all on the ground
chorus
we ran for a week, lived off the land
seemed to be getting nowhere fast
looking ahead i made up my mind
we'd head up for the higher ground
up through the woods we did hike
leaving the town far down below
if we could make it to the top
we'd breathe the fresh air
and continue on
chorus

down from the top

heading down from the top
a misty mountain hop
Joshua is on point
rachael scouts ahead
forest is green & red
but no birds in the sky
something isn't real
air has a different feel
like the world has turned heel
we're going slower now
there's no reason why
been here a hundred times before
out of the trees it crashed
reeking of rotten flesh
arms reached for his neck
big joshua hit the deck
rachael screamed at the sight
creature of the night
reared back...
took a bite out of his neck
we beat the thing to the ground
joshua never made a sound
lay there stone dead
we'll make it to the car
said it wasn't far
she rushed off up ahead
what the hell is going on?
where did that thing come from
i heard a scream
joshua come back to life
there was no light in his eyes
he had rachael; help me please
her eyes called out
i stood frozen to the spot
what a deadly choice i fought
i could save her life...
but i ran off to the car

rock bottom
03:59

|

i walk from the car
down to a park
i can hear noises
off in the dark
looking around
i arm myself
with nothing but a
broken piece of self
darkness falls
the undead crawls
backing away
i turn to run
if only i
had a gun
id face the wall
and end it now
but i must fight
make a stand
turn around and
reclaim the land
so off i go
i'll run like hell
into the
zombie city breakdown

the longest road
04:47
|
|

now i found you just weeks ago
chained up to a fence
surrounded by the undead
i came to your defence
named you hercules
and we made our way
down the highway
on the road again
it's a long road to travel
without you by my side
it's a long road to ride
alone
woke up early one moring
you weren't looking too fine
one of the zombie undead
had bit your side
can't let you fade away
can't let you turn
for love i should take your life
before you turn
its a long road to travel
without you by my side
its a long road to ride
alone
its a long road to travel
without you by my side
its a long road to ride
alone

the boat
03:33

well we made it down to the boat
managed to get that old bird afloat
set the compass for the
northern star
let's get out of here
let's go real far
the undead massed apon the shore
was not our problem anymore
we're fit to hit the open sea
nothing to stop us now, it's like a dream
then suddenly the engine died, and started to smoke
the tide was turning, pushing us back to the shore
frantically we paddled on the oars
trying to keep away from the shore
the undead cries come on louder still
they sensed brains and moved
in for the kill
our whole life flashed before our eyes
all the bitterness
and all the lies
facing death we stood up with good grace
finally ready to meet our fate
but then the engine kicked, back into life
we hit the open sea and never looked back
