[Intro]
Ash in my lungs
Gunmetal tongue
Whole sky hums
Something wicked comes (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Vault door sealed, you can hear ‘em pray
Numbers on the jumpsuit fade to gray
Brotherhood banners in the blown-out rain
Steel on rust, still bleed the same
Enclave shadows in a burning field
Flag in the mud, don’t know when to yield
Rumors in the ruins that the dead got deals
Ghouls in the chapel where the pastor kneeled
Rad storms crawl like a living curse
Glow in the bones, in the dirt, in the thirst
Beasts in the fog, you can see ‘em stir
Eyes like embers underneath that fur (shh)
[Chorus]
This that Vault-Tec graveyard anthem
Where the ghouls dance slow with the phantoms
Deathclaws lurk, feel the scratch on the wall
If the rads don’t get you, then the monsters will call
Whole wasteland on that war-time tantrum
Steel and fire, that forever companion
If you step past light, better pray you don’t fall
If the rads don’t get you, then the monsters will call (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Seen a power armor titan fall face-first
Whole squad cheered, then the sky got worse
Green rain drip through a torn-up hood
Every drop taste like “never going back, understood”
Enclave labs in the canyon cracks
Suits take notes while the test tubes hatch
Send one scout, never see them back
Just claw marks carved in the railroad tracks
Brotherhood scribes scribble sins in code
Talk about honor while the caravans explode
Vault-Tec posters peeling off the stone
“Trust in us” printed over piles of bones (hey)
[Chorus]
This that Vault-Tec graveyard anthem
Where the ghouls dance slow with the phantoms
Deathclaws lurk, feel the scratch on the wall
If the rads don’t get you, then the monsters will call
Whole wasteland on that war-time tantrum
Steel and fire, that forever companion
If you step past light, better pray you don’t fall
If the rads don’t get you, then the monsters will call (monsters will call)
[Bridge]
Hear that tap on the bunker door?
Is it friends, is it fiends, is it hunger for more?
Every bright blue jumpsuit, every shining star
Just a fresh new ghost for the glow in the dark (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
This that Vault-Tec graveyard anthem
Where the ghouls dance slow with the phantoms
Deathclaws lurk, feel the scratch on the wall
If the rads don’t get you, then the monsters will call
Whole wasteland on that war-time tantrum
Steel and fire, that forever companion
If you step past light, better pray you don’t fall
If the rads don’t get you, then the monsters will call (call)
