They Came For Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They came for me in the middle of the night
They came for me on a wave of panic and fright
And how I wept for all their problems
Oh how I wept for all their sins
Knocked down the doors and lurched their bodies up the stairs,
entered the bedrooms, yeah they caught us unawares -
And how I wept for all their problems,
oh how I wept for all their sins
And I said hey there, living dead, just where do you come from?
Where are you going? And can you give me a crumb -
Not of the brains and flesh you feast on, or the corpses left behind,
but just a piece of evidence so I can ease my throbbing mind
They left us hostage in the streets
And they attacked us where we sleep
When all I wanted was some piece
So let's go get 'em where they creep
