Dawn of the Dead

from Horror Stories by Down In Autumn

lyrics

I met you as I pulled out of your smashed up car,
And I said: "Come with me if you want to live”.
And we ran off from the hoards that came in,
I couldn’t help but noticing you were the most beautiful car crash victim that I’d ever seen,
And something swelled and burst inside of me.

We travelled together from then,
We fell in love and I defended you from everyone of them that got too close.
I swore that I’d kill them all, but we shacked up in a shopping mall,
and now we have a place to call our home, and I’ll protect it ‘til I die.
With guns and chainsaws, baseball bats and knives
’Cause finally, I’ve meaning in my life.

It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the start of our own world and we can grow it.
And from night, to dawn and day, I swear I’ll fight them all away,
This is the chance that I’ve ben waiting for to show it.

They say that when there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth,
But I have never felt this much alive,
‘Cause I was nothing but a slob. A useless fuck, no family or job,
and now I find my calling in protecting you, I’ll do that til I die, through all the limited days of our lives. “cause I find all I need is in your eyes.

And if they ever find a way to get into our new home you don’t have to fret.
I’ll set the dynamite to blow, as we steal out the nearest window,
We’ll grab a boat and sail to the sunset.
