Burn the Daylight

Taken by forces that come from behind Life’s little mines Hidden from sight Worming their way deeply into our minds Tell us it’s all right So we run, run on while we still can Ravenous just like the living dead Caught between the rebels and the minions Striving on to keep our spirits fed Burn the daylight Rip up the road It’s not enough to survive Hit the red line Or we’re swallowed I need to know I’m alive Creeping up slowly, we fall one by one Held softly in Life’s easy chair Changes subtle we hardly notice Drifting unware So we run, run on while we still can Ravenous just like the living dead Caught between the rebels and the minions Striving on to keep our spirits fed Burn the daylight Rip up the road It’s not enough to survive Hit the red line Or we’re swallowed I need to know I’m alive
