The last song of the ZII EP is a closure to what the sickness has been doing. Lyrics like “We must upset the sickness” and “Still man allots contagion, diminishing population” is telling that everyone should join forces and attack with all the power to the zombies and destroy the virus this way.
[Intro/Chorus: Jeremy DePoyster]
How can we keep our heads above?
This slow motion is speeding up
[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
Solidified conclusion
Permanence, no solution
It's been quite some time
Since the infection (Since the infection)
Evolving axis of cessation
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Hranica]
Still man allots contagion
Diminishing population
Formalize a statement's period
While brighter minds
[Chorus: Mike Hranica, Jeremy DePoyster]
Subject some force (How can we)
Every breath (Keep our heads above?)
Offer your strength (This slow motion)
Push the pace (Is speeding up)
[Post-Chorus: Mike Hranica]
Against death, against death
[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
We can't last much longer
We can't last much longer
Depleted legs, a truest factor
We can't last much longer
It's been quite some time
Each day fleeing the hoards
Still man allots contagion
Diminishing population
[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Upset the sickness
But it seems that it's too late
Upset the sickness
Can we take our lives back?
They scream and grasp
Who knows if this will pass?
Upset the sickness
Can we take our lives back?
[Chorus: Mike Hranica]
How can we keep our heads above?
This slow motion is speeding up
[Outro: Mike Hranica, Jeremy DePoyster]
Subject your force (How can we)
Forget the last
Time they hurt you (Keep our heads above?)
Ignore the past
Just come with your might (This slow motion)
Ready to fight
Down to the wire (Is speeding up)
We must upset the sickness
