I was looking for you when I first heard the sirens The ambulances filled the streets The masses screamed and called for help You were no where next to me The soldiers came to round up the living And take them away to somewhere that’s safe But if I cant find you there’s no place to save me If you are gone then its too late
Night turns to dawn, and dawn into day And the land overflows with the dead Where did I last hold you in my arms? What was the last thing that you said? Some hide underground, others hide in a mall I still drag myself through the streets I life without love my love isn’t a life to me
I don’t believe that love can rot away So first aim for the heart, then aim for the head
I wept bitterly and then I threw up Something silver washed up in my lap This metal thing, your wedding ring Brought all of the memories back I remember the bite, and breaking my teeth I remember choking it down Eating your fingers one at a time I left most of you there on the ground
And it’s there that I find you, just as you were left Writhing you rise to your feet You come back to my side with very few insides They’re still strewn about on the street
I have heard it said that love endures all things And now I know that its true Stronger than the grave, death cant put it out Here I am, the walking dead, still next to you
I don’t believe that love can rot away So first aim for the heart then aim for the head If true love last forever, then love doesn’t die It just becomes the living dead
