Metro Exodus

They said Moscow was a lost hope And it was, so I've gone off the beaten track To meet a crossroad East of Vladivostok Under foot there is frozen Blood in the snow The rubble and bones Are covered in mud And the soot and the smoke Is enough to choke you up As you wander alone Through tunnels and holes And burrows and roads Just looking for somewhere to go That could become an abode Even just a gutter's a comfortable home But there's not much of a hope There's no government No more Russia The globe's become a Chernobyl A troublesome glow falls A crimson snowball Brings the crow's call In a minute you'll know What I'm bringing this bow for Killing isn't noble It's no sport But when I show force I'm a stone wall I'm immobile Then I go forth Like a blowtorch To the snow, scorched 'Til it's no more My skin is the colour of cobalt Because I'm just so cold But I'm Always moving forward Always moving forward Always moving forward Always moving forward, always moving forward Always moving forward, always moving forward Oh Aurora Aurora You're our only refuge Our only retreat You're our only shelter Aurora When we've been beaten down You're our Aurora We're in a stalemate The only way to play is stay away Or jailbreak The railway's a failsafe Human frames make a frail freight For a fatal tale Fate'll tailgate They'll chase Making gains at a snail's pace So say your grace While you have a table place At the fey buffet Because the fables say That the plates'll break And you'll fade away You may or may not make the grade Without a place to stay So praise the day You stayed awake To raise the stakes and say Mistakes were made Lessons were learned Allegiances, changes And bridges were burned Tapes and blades And weapons were turned To pieces Upgraded Respect isn't earned It's taken With a revolver trigger Betrayed and sold up the Volga river Vulgar rhythms Rule, forgive them In their shoes You'd make the same cold decisions I never wanted to become a killer But it was them or me I can only hope they're living on In somebody's memory Always moving forward Always moving forward Always moving forward Always moving forward, always moving forward Always moving forward, always moving forward Oh Aurora Aurora You're our only refuge Our only retreat You're our only shelter Aurora When we've been beaten down You're our Aurora Hiding out A tiger primed to pounce A Geiger counter by my side A lighter by the belt To try to find the lighter side of life While I fight a mind of doubts Enjoy the ride to hell If I'm to die, you won't tie me down When I go out I'm firing shells Shouting "Life is swell" No cry for help I stoke the fire Like a stoke prior scout Aurora Aurora You're our only refuge Our only retreat You're our only shelter Aurora When we've been beaten down You're our Aurora
