lyrics

Crack the bulkhead door
See the pressure equalise
First time in a dozen years
Sunlight hits your eyes
Squinting in the glare
You start to focus on the ground
Turn your back on prison/sanctuary

Dark grey
Ash waste
Forsaken
This place
Ruined landscape
No human race

Wading through the dust
Through the carcasses of towns
There should be more survivors
Ears straining for a sound
Slowly realising there is no one left around
You turn back to prison/sanctuary
