Dead Black Sky

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

They cut the cord on a Tuesday

No maps and no goodbye

Twelve worlds turned to cinders

We scattered into the sky

I count the jumps on my fingers

Every one a bruise

The old man says keep moving

We've got nothing left to lose

Chorus

We run we run we run

Till the tanks are dry

We run we run we run

Under a dead black sky

Somebody's still out there

Somebody's still alive

We run we run we run

Just to stay alive

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Just to stay alive

Oh-oh oh-oh

Just to stay alive

Verse 2

A boy in a Viper

Draws circles round the dark

He doesn't know he's holy

He just knows how to spark

And I am not a soldier

I fix the broken parts

I patch the hull at midnight

And I bury what departs

Pre-Chorus

So count the rations slowly

Count the stars instead

There is no promised country

There's only what's ahead

Chorus

We run we run we run

Till the tanks are dry

We run we run we run

Under a dead black sky

Somebody's still out there

Somebody's still alive

We run we run we run

Just to stay alive

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Just to stay alive

Oh-oh oh-oh

Just to stay alive

Bridge

Hear the drums hear the drums

Hammer hammer on

Hold the line hold the line

Till the fear is gone

I will find you I will find you

Past the burning sun

Hold the line hold the line

Till the fear is gone

Breakdown

Chorus

We run we run we run

Till the tanks are dry

We run we run we run

Under a dead black sky

Somebody's still out there

Somebody's still alive

We run we run we run

Just to stay alive

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

Just to stay alive

Oh-oh oh-oh

Just to stay alive

Outro

Just to stay alive
