Walking Dead, Walking Dead lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Clock strikes midnight, shadows crawl along the wall
Empty streets, a silent scream, answering no one's call
Plastic smiles on vacant shells, they shuffle and they sway
Lost in their digital cell, another fading day
No spark of light, no burning flame, just embers left to die
Living ghosts in a twisted game, beneath a concrete sky
They used to dream, they used to soar above the daily grind
Now they just march and ask for more, with nothing left behind

[Chorus]
Walking dead, walking dead
Empty eyes stare straight ahead
Walking dead, walking dead
All their vital spirit fled
Walking dead

[Chorus]
Walking dead, walking dead
Hear the rhythm of their tread
Walking dead, walking dead
Lost before their time, they're dead

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Another screen, another lie, another fleeting trend
Chasing dreams that fade and die, until their bitter end
They build their castles in the air, on foundations made of sand
Ignoring all the silent prayer, from this forsaken land
Their hearts are locked, their souls are chained, to gilded cages bright
Forever numb, forever drained, of darkness and of light

[Chorus]
Walking dead, walking dead
Empty eyes stare straight ahead
Walking dead, walking dead
All their vital spirit fled
You're

[Outro]
Walking dead
