The Academy of Young Lions Lyrics

It would be disingenuous of me to say

We did not expect this to happen to us one day

Every day I walked these halls with all of this in mind

Knowing soon or later it's a matter of time

You can't escape me I'm almost there

It's not a drill this time when they yell

"He's got a gun!"

Hiding in the closet trying not to make a sound

My friend's leg is bleeding from his earlier rounds

I don't know what broke this man

But now our lives are in his hands

Brick by brick, he'll never quit, he'll tear this place apart

And we're the walking dead sitting quiet in the dark

Run like hell

When he reloads is your chance to get out

Keep your head down

You're a sitting duck if you give an easy shot
