Lyrics
I see you to biomed,
central station battery has 12 minutes left.
If we lose telemetry, we lose 20
cardiac patients.
Elevated doors are dead and dark, eyes as a stone
Dave strapped a 60 -pound inverter on his own
Heavy steel casing biting deep into his chest
No time for for breathing
No time for rest
Kicked open the fire door
Hit the concrete flight
Flashlight beam shaking The stairwell night
Flight one, legs feeling like cold wet
Flight two, alarms ringing
Loud in his head
Two minutes on the
UPS clock Every second is an icy shock I can
push the button, take two steps, set a strike
Carrying the spark for the other side
Stairwell run, fast and steep
Promises to twenty beating hearts to keep
All the floors up through the frozen dark
Carrying the power, carrying the spark
Lungs are burning, boots on the stone
Never gonna leave it, I see you alone
Lord, run, Dave, run, beat the dying light
Biomed sprint in the middle of the night
The flight of three, hard hammering at 184
Shouldered open, the heavy fourth floor fire door
ICU nurses yelling, over here, slot five
Two minutes left to keep that central bank alive
Slid the old frat module out, sparks in the bay
Slam the 60 pound replacement in without delay
Talk the looks down, but the trends will never right
The central telemetry flashback to living green light
Stairwell run, fast and steep
Promises to twenty beating hearts to keep
Four floors up through the frozen dark
Carrying the power, carrying the spark
Lungs are burning, boots on the stone
Never gonna leave that, I see you alone
Run, Dave, run, beat the dying light
Biomed sprint in the middle of the night
Central Station, I'm blind
Every wave falling steady
What can you tell
me?
with 40 seconds to spare.
