Run, Baby, Run
A sound that’s almost nothing begins to take its shape
And as it does its ugliness suggests there’s no escape
Those drums out in the wild shake the ground with every beat
While the stars of the night illuminate a dark and evil fleet
Stretching across the horizon line a wild army grows
Their existence comprised of void of hope, something you already know
It flirted with you in the darkness, in secret whispered your name
It told you the emptiness you feel inside will always stay the same
It told you that you're worthless, that there’s no stars left in the night
It told you that there's nothing more worthless than the existence of your life
The army echoes unholy screams that touch upon your ears
Their ugly tones grind at your bones making one thing clear:
Nothing can be done. All you can do is run.
So run, baby run, don't ever think about looking back
You have not even a second to turn and see your tracks
Run, baby, run, faster than the wind against your face
What will be lost if you were to stop could never be replaced
Take the quickest path that you can find and never ease your pace
Breathing in and breathing out on this starlit, epic chase
As your legs take you weaving all around through woods where you cannot stay
Against the trees in the cool night air, the sounds of war drums ricochet
As you flee from those voices behind you whose march has just begun
The ones who wish to devour your soul, if you can only be outrun
Listen for a different voice on the wind that tells you that you're loved
That voice is there, however faint, drifting from above
The words assure you're so much more than whatever you've been told.
Your life has a meaning greater than this perception that you hold
The voices from behind, that aim to destroy, their efforts are in vain
When you believe the truth that your life's more than a dumping ground for pain
May you believe this voice whose power can uplift you through the air
It will get close enough to swirl into your ear, rushing past your lovely hair
This voice can fill a void inside that you believed was hollow
As you run, and as you hear it, where it goes, I pray you follow
So run, baby, run, until you've completely run out of ground
Until you cannot hear the faintest ring of those violent war cry sounds
Run, baby, run, you will not run out of breath
Your stamina will be true to you, this thing’s not over yet
It's not aimless that you're racing
Against this hopelessness you’re facing.
There's gonna be a destination
Beyond this dark abomination.
You'll reach a higher motivation
Than a death wish anticipation.
Feel a warm wave of fascination
When the sun shines out over creation.
You'll be living life sans hesitation
when you reach this new location.
Someday this chase will be done.
So run. Baby. Run.
