[Intro]
[distorted electric guitar riff, driving drum beat]

[Verse 1]
[raspy male vocals]
Grey [guitar accents]
Nothing Grows
The road is a wire
Cold wind cuts the throat
Asphalt skin
We crawl
Looking for a rusted tin
Of beans or peaches
Hunger is a heavy stone
Tied to my neck

[Chorus]
Don't look back, don't look back
Hold the light
Keep the fire inside your sleep
The bad men are coming, the bad men are coming
Run away, run away
Hide, hide

[Verse 2]
Ash falling slow
White dust on your eyelashes
I keep the pistol close
Hunger is a heavy stone
Tied to my neck

[Chorus]
Don't look back, don't look back
Hold the light
Keep the fire inside your sleep
The bad men are coming, the bad men are coming
Run away, run away
Hide, hide

[Bridge]
[distorted guitar drops out, clean arpeggiated guitar enters]
Ash falling slow
White dust on your eyelashes
I keep the pistol close
Two bullets
One for me
One for the boy
The cellar door is open
The smell of rot
Iron
Oh, blood on the floor
They eat what they find, they find what they eat

[Chorus]
[full band enters, high energy]
Don't look back, don't look back
Hold the light
Keep the fire inside your sleep
The bad men are coming, the bad men are coming
Maybe we reach the coast, maybe the water is blue
Maybe the sun comes out, no more winter, no more salt
No more hunger, I am the man, I am the father, I am the end
Don't look back, don't look back
Hold the light
Keep the fire inside your sleep
The bad men are coming, the bad men are coming
Carry the fire, carry the fire
Sleep now, sleep, just sleep

[Outro]
[feedback, sustained guitar chord, drums fade]
