Lyrics The Dead Return to War - Planks

The Dead Return to War

Fierce they stood in the brink of extinction
Deviously watching towards absolution
The walls could wait it out, but we couldn’t
Years felt as transient surcease
When absolute chaos broke lose
And there we stood, obtaining spellbound
Not afraid of the door but what lay behind it
Constant revision made closure imminent
Still we lost — Still we fell
We don’t speak the name of the dead
But faces, eyes and thoughts loomed large
And no, we didn’t forget a bit
This familiar dominance
Like a drug grants desperate moments of freedom
They broke open the gates
All caused by the love for decay
