lyrics

there's a shadow
an unidentifiable shape
looming through the doorway
slip out a side door
but there's no hope of getting away
they've got the place surrounded

how many are in here with us?
what horrors lurk among us?
how will we ever last the night?
how did they get in with us?
well does it matter?
does it matter?
oh we will never survive

we've seen what they can do
we've seen the lengths they go to
we've seen the bodies strewn outside
death is stalking the corridors behind us
and this fortress is just a pile of sticks and straw

eerie silences broken by mysterious noises
dread is a palpable presence
an inescapable presence
inescapable is the only word
inescapable is the essence
dread hovers at every corner
dread is a palpable presence

a beating heart
a once beating heart
