about
A tale of an unholy invasion of London. Inspired by the RPG of the same name.
lyrics
It's a new dark age and the end has come
There's blood in the streets and there's nowhere to run
Through darkest night they rise once again
Spreading the plague and terrorizing man
We're not alone
We'll make our stand, we're not alone
In this unhallowed land, we're not alone
We'll fight for our lives, we're not alone
Through this madness and strife, we're not alone
And we'll wait for the dawn, we're not alone
But our city is gone
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Our time is short
Our time is nigh
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
We've had our chance
Lord knows we've tried
Nowhere to run...
Abominations plague our streets
There's no surrender, and there's no retreat
But beyond London's walls, the wasteland awaits
Where unholy creatures prowl at our gates
The Death Watch have always held them at bay
While mad men work by the Tesla array
Our metropolis has fallen, our city is gone
There's death in the streets and nowhere to run
A necropolis has risen, the old world is dead
There's no hope in our hearts, a new Dark Age ahead
We're not alone
We'll make our stand, we're not alone
In this unhallowed land, we're not alone
We'll fight for our lives, we're not alone
Through this madness and strife, we're not alone
And we'll wait for the dawn, we're not alone
But our city is gone
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Our time is short
Our time is nigh
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
We've had our chance
Lord knows we've tried
Nowhere to run...
Nowhere to hide...
There's blood in the streets and there's nowhere to run
Through darkest night they rise once again
Spreading the plague and terrorizing man
We're not alone
We'll make our stand, we're not alone
In this unhallowed land, we're not alone
We'll fight for our lives, we're not alone
Through this madness and strife, we're not alone
And we'll wait for the dawn, we're not alone
But our city is gone
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Our time is short
Our time is nigh
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
We've had our chance
Lord knows we've tried
Nowhere to run...
Abominations plague our streets
There's no surrender, and there's no retreat
But beyond London's walls, the wasteland awaits
Where unholy creatures prowl at our gates
The Death Watch have always held them at bay
While mad men work by the Tesla array
Our metropolis has fallen, our city is gone
There's death in the streets and nowhere to run
A necropolis has risen, the old world is dead
There's no hope in our hearts, a new Dark Age ahead
We're not alone
We'll make our stand, we're not alone
In this unhallowed land, we're not alone
We'll fight for our lives, we're not alone
Through this madness and strife, we're not alone
And we'll wait for the dawn, we're not alone
But our city is gone
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Our time is short
Our time is nigh
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
We've had our chance
Lord knows we've tried
Nowhere to run...
Nowhere to hide...
