[Official voice] We interrupt your broadcast for the emergency alert system in the following localites --
[singing] There's somethin' wrong out there today
Sky is red and people, lookin' grey
People caught in the blast couldn't stand the heat
Now they're hungry for the taste of human meat
But now there's nowhere left to run, looks like the end has just begun
Why did I let you go outside?
Guess I was angry from the fight
Can't remember what it was about
But I'd take it back if I could get you out
But there's no way that I can shield you from your doom, your fate is sealed
You've been claimed by the UNLIVIN DEAD
Radio keeps talkin' 'bout the past
How life used to be before the Hadron Blast
Boardin' up the windows, but I fear
Part of me keeps thinkin' that you're out there somewhere
Now you ain't alive, but you ain't dead. It all went down just like they said
And now you're somethin' else instead...
[sound fx- collage of frantic 911 calls and police radio footage]
I can hear you scratchin' on the door
Like you've done a thousand times before
Let you through and hold you close to me
Say 'I'm sorry, girl' as you start to feed
I touch your flesh, I start to burn, I've reached the point of no return
I have become THE UNLIVIN' DEAD
THE UNLIVIN' DEAD [repeats]
[background vocals] Why did I let you go? Why did I let you go?
I've become... I've become THE UNLIVIN' DEAD

[a single acoustic guitar returns, strumming and fading out]
