Here We Are After 3 Years

(album: Generation Gaming XXVI: 25 - 2022)

You're beholding the soul of an older soldier
I won't withhold the horror stories I'll have told you
It was over a thousand days ago now
But the pain of that day won't fade
Cut to the chase
Picture the most brutal doomsday you could face
From the ruins of the human race, me and my mates
Are going to shoot our way through the chaos, what did you do today?
Fight viruses, zombie outbreaks?
It's quite quiet here beyond the outrage
Humanity's in anarchy, our only salvation
Is to obliterate the plague without trace

Life does not compromise
United we can always survive
No compromise
United we're holding the line
Life does not compromise
United and emboldened we fight
No compromise
United we can always survive
What we thought once inconsequential
Has at once gone intercontinental
You can give up any wants that are nonessential
No one's intervention is providential
No doctors, no private dental
You won't survive without strong credentials
So never mind your existential
Crisis, this one's monumental

The fire of our fate is in danger, zone out
Won't let the final flame be blown out
These hybrids have taken over
Now it's time to reclaim the whole map
Take it all back, no surrender
Way back when most won't remember
Like an 8K project render
Abandon hope all those who enter
Now the world is a real open ender, so get to repopulating our map
'Till every coordinate's filled with the heaviest ordinance take the power back
Breaking our backs: blood, sweat, tears, guts, guns, gear, sunsets, fears
Musketeers in the dusk, it is another chance to advance into fresh frontiers

Life does not compromise
United we can always survive
No compromise
United we're holding the line
Life does not compromise
United and emboldened we fight
No compromise
United we can always survive
What we thought once inconsequential
Has at once gone intercontinental
You can give up any wants that are nonessential
No one's intervention is providential
No doctors, no private dental
You won't survive without strong credentials
So never mind your existential
Crisis, this one's monumental

Half way behind enemy lines, there is a revenant rising, what a pleasant surprise
Hybrids who can keep their memories minds in and now we're twice the strength and never ready to die
Obliged to avenge our dead in the dead of the night, didn't envision that they would then multiply
Double in size to the outbreak that came before, now we're holding the line side by side on the great wall
I know pride comes prior to a great fall
But we haven't even got time to be grateful
Just survival takes all that we've got
Every day calls more new wars on the block
What's behind all this? Heimdall is
And we don't really even know what Heimdall is
Mind your biz, this is confidential
The crisis rises beyond potential

Life does not compromise
United we can always survive
No compromise
United we're holding the line
Life does not compromise
United and emboldened we fight
No compromise
United we can always survive
What we thought once inconsequential
Has at once gone intercontinental
You can give up any wants that are nonessential
No one's intervention is providential
No doctors, no private dental
You won't survive without strong credentials
So never mind your existential
Crisis, this one's monumental
