We Are the Dead (feat. Claustra)

from Archive 200 by Once Upon the End

/

about

In the ashes of a totalitarian regime where technology crushed the very essence of humanity, the disconnected survivors simply wait for death. "We Are the Dead" is their last lament before they become zombie-like broken shells.

lyrics

Death
Come to me
I wanna be free

From this world
From this life
From these lies
I wanna close my eyes

And dream of the past
Pray the hurt won’t last
For all the tears I cried
The nightmare’s still alive

Blinded and sedated
Now we’re disconnected
Under a crimson sky
All hope is denied

To sleep forever
Civilization's over

I can see no more hope
Thinking of tomorrow
Please make this silence stop
I'm feeling so hollow

They roam the wastelands
Like broken robots
Without a screen to guide them
Toxic world, empty brain

Living no more yet not dead
A fate we all try to escape
‘till the silence comes again
Blank women, hollow men

I can see no more hope
Thinking of tomorrow
Please make this silence stop
I'm feeling so hollow

What kind of technology
Cuts our kin from reality
Throws them into a pit
Until they commit

What cannot be undone
What will hurt everyone
Emptied by an inner pain
They can't even explain

Death
Comes for all
Dead
Dead
We are the dead

Once Upon the End Paris, France

Among the silent ruins of the Ancient world, and inspired by used recordings of old, five survivors roam the broken streets to blast and shout the loudest music: a testimony of this last age.
