A dead man walking the bridges

Death on his trail

With a single-minded missionTo evade extinction

The colors, the battles

It all fades in the rain

Whatever it soaks

Grinds away

We′re at war

Defend the shore

Dark water

Splashed across my face

A black beach on the end of days

I am stranded and branded

To waste away on this plane

Whatever the stakes

I can't escape my fate

We′re at war

Defend the shore

Dark water

Splashed across my face

A black beach on the end of days

This is the bullet, the gallows

The end of the line

Tie the rope one last time

Pull me out

From the end of days

Can a stick become a rope?

Revolt and build a ladder

Can a stick become a hope?

Revolt and climb the ladder

Can the stick become my hope?

Evaluate what really matters

What really matters

Dark water

Splashed across my face

A black beach on the end of days

This is the bullet, the gallows

The end of the line

Tie the rope one last time

So pull me out

Yeah, pull me out

Dark water

Splashed across my face (right across my face)

A black beach on the end of days

Don't end my days
