Walking Dead - Z-Trip
(Feat. Chester Bennington)

In the chill of the night
I can feel my heart racing
As I run towards the light
that seems so far away
Wondering forever

In the darkest of shadows
Wondering if I will ever see you again

Wondering if I will ever see you again
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire

I'll take the world
when it turns on you
(when it turns on you)
I'll set it on fire

W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)

Digging in the dirt
I can feel you getting closer
Steadying my hands through the blistering pain
Anxiously awaiting for the earth to reveal you
Wondering if I will ever see you again (see you again)

Wondering if I will ever see you again
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire

I'll take your heart
I'll take your pain
(I'll take your pain)
I'll bring you to life

I'll bring you to life
W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)

I'll bring you to life
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire

I'll take the world
when it turns on you
(it turns on you)

W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire

I'll take your heart
I'll take your pain
(I'll take your pain)

I'll bring you to life

Chasing after hope

Hiding in the shadows

I can’t believe this isn’t bigger. This is probably one of chesters most underrated songs. I was 14 when this came out, want to say I got really lucky pretty much hearing it somewhere on a site or something and fell in love with it but as YouTube wasn’t really a thing back then I specifically had to go to that site to hear it lol. Eventually the site went down and it was lost for a solid minute because even when YouTube came out, it wasn’t until this video had finally been uploaded that I was actually able to listen to it again. REALLY glad it’s been here all these years and hope I’ll be able to jam it for another 16 years 🤟

Rest In Peace Chester!!!! Thank you for this 💪

@RemrieArrieDuckshorts

John Staus Zombies are quite a lively bunch of blokes. Much like this band. They're always so cheery enthusiastic. People always give them crap for being dead, but they are just misunderstood. They make excellent pet sitters, and can often be found playing shuffle board with members of the local retirement communities.

@Rayvn7

Right, like Linkin Park is the literal only band that was absolutely massive and yet no ody knew it because nobody's parents have ever heard of them regardless of also knowing the In the End chorus. Literally not a single other band at that time that the parents haven't heard of!

(So that's how you know that "everyone" was in high school! (Or college.))

Meu Deus, essa música surgiu do NADA na minha cabeça hoje, eu havia esquecido dela por anos. Eu nunca havia percebido como ela se passa perfeitamente por uma música do Depeche Mode. O Chester deve ter gostado muito de gravar ela, já que o Depeche Mode era uma uma de suas maiores inspirações.
