Let the Rot Take Me

This song is for that moment you stop checking your temperature and realize the "rot" has already won. Inspired by the inevitable conclusion of a good run in a zombie survival game. Song by: Dead Channel Audio Lyrics: [Verse 1] The glass is sweating or maybe it's me A jagged distortion of what I used to be Marrow turning into led A heavy sickness feeding in my head The cold is digging deeper than bone A fire in the veins I have finally grown to own [Chorus] So let the rot take me Let the fever burn This is the one last lesson I had left to learn No more running from the coming gray Let the rot take me and wash the man I was away [Verse 2] I remember sunlight on the boulevard We built the fences and we held the gates so hard We told ourselves the walls would keep us free Now the only thing that's walled inside is me [Chorus] So let the rot take me Let the fever burn This is the one last lesson I had left to learn No more running from the coming gray Let the rot take me and wash the man I was away [Bridge] There's one last bullet in the chamber here A final, quiet way to make it disappear But the trigger isn't victory, it's just a lie I won't die hiding, I'll let the old world die! [Chorus] Let the rot take me! Let the fever burn! This is the one last lesson I had left to learn! No more running from the coming gray! Let the rot take me and wash the man I was away! [Outro] It's getting louder now... There’s a hunger rising... Just... let it take me..
