Part 1

[Verse 1: Whitaker]
Not even a distant land
We're stuck on a whole different planet
No peace lookin' at the sky, trouble's always all around
So we stay quick with the guns and cannons
Standing as long as we can
Until we get all Dolls up
Then call all bets off, we'll blow through your tar
Dealing with lives messed up
On a sea of dark matter, every minute matters
Living while other lives shatter
Seeing ghosts scatter, as they pour out
We can handle them
It's the tar taking over that came unexpected
Hard to accept it, getting marked for death
Seeing friends snatched and darkly possessed
The tar inside stealing the body and breath
Till only a shell is left
Witness to Hell in the flesh
A fight to the death
Screaming "Where's the relief?"
Maybe no more sleep
All are swallowed in grief
Images start to stalk like a beast
I hear voices, but no one talking to me
[Hook: mpi]
It's like I'm washing away my peaceful days
Anyway, anyhow, nothing left of the scene
If you are losing your way, you need some protection
Black tar, it gets you, wherever you go
They could find you quickly, it's sticky
However you try to tough it out, you just can't beat them

[Verse 2: Whitaker]
They said "seek to find the field"
So we can sharpen skills
But now we can only feel
All the pain of the danger being real
And we may have to kill just to stay alive
'Cause they've taken away close mates
And we don't know our own fates
We've been tasked to protect and take on ghosts
But now this black tar is new, and the damage is quick
It moves really fast, plus it covers everything
This wasn't in the profile
So now we've got to find a way to win, or we die out
Living life on the run, with a hand on a gun
Where's the exits?
We can't go back where we came from
We can't go back where we came from
Part 2

[Intro: mpi]
Get armed, don't look back
Shoot them with your guns, and
Get up, don't give up
Shoot them, all the power you've got

[Verse 1: Whitaker]
Hello? Is this thing on? Am I all alone?
Is anyone there? I need a bigger gun
Help if you can, please wake me up
Not to sound cliche, but this world sucks!

[Bridge: mpi]
So close, it's a voice I'm hearing
Overwhelms me, can't stop bleeding
Show me, show me, show me, show me
Sho-o-ow me, show me, in the fog
How many times you gotta kill your friends?
How do you feel, gotta shoot their head?
Just like endless war, war, war...

[Hook: mpi]
How do I know? This goddamn stuff is all around
How can I get out - this nightmare I've gotta escape?
You're just screaming, you hear them over and over
You get running, so we can find a way to get out
[Verse 2: Whitaker]
We're stuck on a different planet
A lot more than we can manage
But we gotta keep on standing
(Standing, standing...)
We're stuck on a different planet
A lot more than we can manage
But we gotta keep on sta-a-anding
(Standing, standing...)
Just want live in peace, yet
Black tar's gonna keep us restless
Running just to hold our own breath
(Hold our own breath, hold our own breath...)
Just want live in peace, yet
Black tar's gonna keep us restless
Running just to keep our own breath
(Keep our own breath, keep our own breath...)

[Outro: Whitaker]
People are dripping black tar
It's taken a ship down, so far
Don't wanna lose hope, but here we are
Wishing to see the sunrise
But the sun doesn't rise in this sky
Black tar covers most eyes
