Lyrics
[Intro]
The dead are at the garden gate
Their fingers scrape the paint
I killed the hall light, held my breath
And counted every chain
[Verse 1]
You told me bolt the basement door
So I dragged the table twice
The kitchen clock keeps missing beats
The hallway breathes in time
A face leans past the curtain seam
Then vanishes from view
I press my palm against the glass
It presses back at you
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t make a sound, don’t touch the floor
They heard the pipe, they’re at the door
The lock is shaking, one by one
The night has learned where we are
[Chorus]
They’re closing in around this house
Boards bend, the window bows
You hold my hand, I hold the key
But there’s nowhere left to flee
They’re closing in, their throats ignite
A red mouth opens in the night
[Zombie Screams: layered distant shrieks, guttural howls, frantic pounding]
We are the last ones breathing now
[Verse 2]
The radio repeats a warning tone
Then gives a stranger’s name
The attic hatch begins to lift
Dust falls like dirty rain
Your brother calls from upstairs
Though he vanished yesterday
His voice says, “Let me in, I’m cold”
We know that isn’t him
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t make a sound, don’t touch the floor
There’s weight against the bedroom door
The ceiling cracks, the plaster runs
They’re inside the walls now
[Chorus]
They’re closing in around this house
Boards bend, the window bows
You hold my hand, I hold the key
But there’s nowhere left to flee
They’re closing in, their throats ignite
A red mouth opens in the night
[Zombie Screams: close snarls, shrieks, pounding, distorted human cries]
We are the last ones breathing now
[Bridge]
The front room glass goes white with breath
A hundred palms arrive
The generator coughs, the candles die
And something says my name
You pull the curtains, I pull the chain
The staircase folds beneath the weight
If morning comes, it won’t come here
If silence comes, don’t answer it
[Drop]
Run—run—run—
No, don’t move
They can hear the heartbeat
Under the floorboards
[Zombie Screams: massive layered horde scream, guttural roars, high-pitched shrieks]
[Final Chorus]
They’re closing in around this house
The roof gives way somehow
You hold my hand, I lose the key
The dark comes crawling through the seams
They’re closing in, their throats ignite
The whole street turns its face tonight
[Zombie Screams: overwhelming horde, distant sirens, frantic pounding]
We were the last ones breathing
We were the last ones—
[Outro]
The dead are quiet at the garden gate
The house is standing still
A single hand taps on the door
And asks if we are in
