Dead Air

from Rise Again by 800 Octane

lyrics

It's been a long time since I last saw the sunrise . I boarded up the door when I first heard the news . There was a breaking story live on channel two . It warned of danger . It warned of doom . One night the lights went dark . The world started burning . I can't take it no more . I tried to write our story here by candlelight . Is there hope for humankind? . God only knows . The moment has arrived . It's time to live or die . Let's unlock the door and face what waits outside . Tonight . They're not taking us alive . This war began the day the dead started walking . I'm not going like that . I've been here too long to just die here on my knees . Oh baby will you please help me unshore this door . I've got some bullets for this pistol . Down to my last few . But I've saved one for me . And I've saved one for you . It's just you and me . It's time for both of us to think back to the fun we used to have . When we both would dance the two-step . When we'd both sit back and laugh . But I have grayed these past few days and the signal has faded out . I've brought the last of the supplies . Got you by my side . And who knows what we'll find . When we head out tonight . Is anybody listening? Is anybody out there? . Once I had a signal, all I've got is dead air tonight . This signals signing off . This station is going off the air.
