Song Lyrics

I remember waking up with a start
There was no one else around, it was dark
Lonely hallways, broken lights everywhere
City soundtrack paused tonight, were you there?

And I'd felt it in my heart
We were chosen for a part to play
Picked off one by one
Until the very last

Too soon
To fight it
Too late to
Deny it
Welcome to the underground
Until our time has come
Their world
Not ours
Our lives
Devoured
Don't let them turn their back
Don't let them get away

It didn't feel safe, so I turned around
I just had to find my way underground
Nazi memories creeping back into my mind
Life forgotten dreams from another time

And I knew it from the start
We were chosen for a part to play
Picked off one by one
Until the very last

Warren Haynes
