The Ones That Fell

walk in a straight line

don't look back

just keep on marching

you're never going back

they tell you you're on your way

to where you don't know

they tell you you're almost there

you're going as fast as you can go

walk in a straight line

don't turn around

the end is getting closer now

but where is the ground

they tell you to keep going

your heels dig in to the dirt

the ones in front of you are in a free fall

death already has his fist knotted in their shirts

walk in a straight line

don't look down

just keep on marching

they'll run you into the ground
