lyrics

Maybe they came from beyond the mountain
Maybe they came from across the sea
Bury your heads in sand, escape them
Nothing to fear when there’s nothing to see
Maybe they came in search of fountains
Maybe they came from beyond the sky
The first ones among us take no chances
Anything that bleeds, can fuckin’ die

Maybe they came here to destroy us
Maybe they came to block out the sun
Wise ones begin to arrange defenses
Nowhere to go, when there’s nowhere to run
Maybe they came to exploit the children
Maybe they came to fulfill the signs
Our past returns to stand against us
Everything that bleeds can fuckin’ die

Here we stand, there they fall
To the last, so say we all
Make our stand, they will fall
They will fall

Why did they come from beyond the mountain?
Why did they come from across the sea?
The riddles of fate provide no answers
Can’t open the door, if you don’t have the key
Why did they come here to destroy us?
Why did they come from beyond the sky?
Maybe they came to stand in judgment
Everything that bleeds will fuckin’ die

Here we stand, there they fall
To the last, so say we all
Make our stand, they will fall
They will fall
