Night Without Dawn Lunr Reverb

Many people expect things to work out on their own
But you won’t rise to the level of your expectations
You’ll fall to the level of your preparation
The lights went out—and the mask was torn from your face

Money is dead — numbers burned in a second
Servers died, your account is pure illusion
New currency — filters, cigarettes, fire
Alcohol and water — the only real law now

Don’t trust the ones in uniform at your door
After seventy-two hours the looters wear the badge
The emblem means nothing — it’s just a key and a gun
They came for your stockpile, they came for your life

The city burns under a blood-red sky
Pipes are silent, the sewers wait below

Follow these rules — to survive the blackout!
Fill the bathtub, seal the doors, cover every window!
Don’t go to the supermarket — war already started there
Silence the generator — sound will give you away!
Rule of three miles — stay far from every road
Abandon the new car — the chips are gone for good!
This is not a movie — this is the night without dawn
The one who survives is the one who hears silence, not light

The moment the lights die — run to the bathroom
Forty-five minutes of pressure — your purest supply
This water will last you for weeks ahead
While outside the air already smells of other people’s pain

Don’t walk into the store after two short hours
The shelves are empty and the people turned to beasts
Food at home will last you seventy-two
While the rest tear each other for the last few crumbs

Seal every door with tape against air and dark
Cholera moves faster than hunger and fear
Light is death — one candle seen for miles
A signal to the looters: someone’s still alive inside

Silence the generator — you’re alone in the black
Noise equals resources, you’re a target on the hill
Leave the car — after ninety everything is dead
Only on foot, only forest, only rails and night

Follow these rules — to survive the blackout!
Fill the bathtub, seal the doors, cover every window!
Don’t go to the supermarket — war already started there
Silence the generator — sound will give you away!
Rule of three miles — stay far from every road
Abandon the new car — the chips are gone for good!
This is not a movie — this is the night without dawn
The one who survives is the one who hears silence, not light

The lights went out
And real life began
