"Play Dead" lyrics

"Play Dead"
(from "Dead by Daylight" soundtrack)

Can you feel the darkness feeding on the heartless?
Can you feel the silence slipping away? (Slipping away)
Can you feel the darkness? A trial is upon us
Can you feel the silence slipping away?
You'll be dead by daylight

Dead by
Dead by daylight

Through the bowels of hell
We're suspended in time
Where the entity dwells (In the depths of a nightmare)
Its power will swell
Till it devours the mind
It's an endless erosion (And there's no going back)

So please (Please)
Power up the gates (Feel the beat, feel the beat in me)
We bleed (Bleed)
For all we generate

Can you feel the darkness feeding on the heartless?
Can you feel the silence slipping away? (Slipping away)
Can you feel the darkness? A trial is upon us
There is no escape, escape
You can flee, you can fight, you'll be dead by daylight

Dead by
Dead by daylight

A depraved ritual
And a swift sacrifice
Gives the entity fuel (In the depths of a nightmare)
The loop is the rule
Sharp as a hook through the spine
So play dead or move forward ('Cause there's no hanging back)

Pierced by our fears
We bow to the entity

So please (Please)
Power up the gates (Feel the beat, feel the beat in me)
We bleed (Bleed)
For all we generate

Can you feel the darkness feeding on the heartless?
Can you feel the silence slipping away? (Slipping away)
Can you feel the darkness? A trial is upon us
There is no escape, escape
You can flee, you can fight, you'll be dead by daylight

Stab in the dark, or you'll be running for your life
You'll feed a force bent on twisting every knife
So take your pick and enjoy your slay tonight
It is the end
Dead (By)
Day (Light)

You can flee, you can fight, but you won't survive the night

Can you feel the darkness feeding on the heartless?
Can you feel the silence slipping away? (Slipping away)
Can you feel the darkness? A trial is upon us
There is no escape, escape (There is no escape)

So here's to wrongs we cannot right, here's to scars we cannot hide
Here's to every chance we take to kill or to survive (There is no escape)
So here's to wrongs we cannot right, here's to scars we cannot hide
Here's to every chance we take to kill or to survive
There is no end in sight
'Cause the fog is always right behind

You can flee, you can fight, you'll be dead by daylight
