about

Track 9 from 'Terminally Brave'

Thousands of rebels are slain. Survivors are captured and locked underground. There in the tunnels, people fear the end and are on the verge of giving up altogether. Soon however, an almighty blast above ground draws them from their despondency.

lyrics

Narrator
Men are captured
Women butchered
Few survivors
Hell unleashed

Railway tunnels
Dungeons calling
Deepest darkness
Trapped once more

Deep in the dark
Where hope it is lost
They’re counting the cost
Lives gone

Starr
Remember today
Remember it well
The day we fell

Cry away
Cry away
Don’t give up
We have to rise again

Narrator
Out of the sky
A light in the night
The shape is descending
Ablaze

The rebels below
The people aware
The shape explodes

Starr
Right away
Right away
Something’s wrong
We have to know
We have to leave
We have to rise again

- Flattened city -
