Zombie Apocalypse, "The Mansion"
Lyrics
Intro
(A solitary, echoing grand piano plays a haunting, minor-key melody. In the background, a thunderclap sounds, followed by the heavy creak of a wooden door opening)
Verse 1
Ink ribbons waiting by the typewriter keys
Shadows are crawling through the static breeze
A static radio warning of the dead
Echoes of footsteps pounding in my head
One green herb left to stitch up the wound
Inside this mansion where the shadows are bloomed.
Chorus
Enter the survival horror, lock the mansion door!
Bloodstains dripping on the hardwood floor!
Unload the shotgun, make every bullet count
As the horrors in the dark continue to mount!
Umbrella corporation hiding the disease
We're falling to our knees in the dead man's breeze!
Verse 2
Door loading screens keeping us in suspense
The t-virus spreading, the panic is intense
Crimson heads rising back up from the floor
Don't look back as you cross the corridor
Fixed camera angles hiding what's ahead
Walking a thin line between the living and the dead.
Bridge
(The heavy guitars cut out, leaving a tense synth pad and ticking clock sound)
Can you hear the hounds breaking through the glass?
We're running out of time, the shadow is vast...
(Screamed)
STARS!
(The heavy music explodes back in with maximum intensity)
Chorus
Enter the survival horror, lock the mansion door!
Bloodstains dripping on the hardwood floor!
Unload the shotgun, make every bullet count
As the horrors in the dark continue to mount!
Umbrella corporation hiding the disease
We're falling to our knees in the dead man's breeze!
Outro
(The heavy instruments fade out, returning to the lonely piano melody)
The self-destruct sequence has begun...
Count down to the rising sun...
Four... three... two...
(The sound of a typewriter carriage return snaps, then silence)
