The first song is the overall theme of the apocalypse. We follow a man and his love, who are thrust into a world where they must kill or be killed, and wish only to return to their life before the end.
Second: Our hero is finally forced to kill to protect his life, and the life of his love, but guilt and nausea still overtake him.
Third: Our hero and his love are chased by a horde of undead, appearing out of the night with no warning.
Fourth: In the attack, our hero's love is bitten by one of the undead; she will turn soon. They kiss one final time before she closes her eyes, and our hero takes her life. Afterwards, he lays awake in grief in a dark building.
Fifth: After wandering aimlessly for weeks upon weeks, our hero happens upon a group of new survivors just as the sun peaks above the mountains.
Sixth: Our hero meets a woman in this new group whom he falls for at first sight. She makes him feel like living is worth something again, a feeling he hadn't felt since the death of his love. They take a late night stroll, and gaze up at the stars.
Seventh: A time later, a peaceful night is interrupted by the appearance of a great horde of the undead. Our hero prepares to defend himself, the people he has begun to think of as family, and his new love from the new threat. They climb atop their fortified roof, and unleash everything they have upon the undead below, who search for a way to climb up.
Eighth: Our hero stands atop the roof as the sun rises. They have defeated the zombie horde, and our hero feels a great lightness come over him. As he stands, watching the sunrise, his love comes over to him, and he puts his arm around her.
Ninth: Later, our hero feels a painful stinging on his leg that his adrenaline soaked senses hadn't been able to interpret earlier. He looks down to see a ragged tear in his pantleg, and when he lifts the pantleg up, he sees a deep bite mark, welling at the edges with new blood.
He sits for a while in numb disbelief, and then begins to form a plan. Betraying nothing of his feelings, he binds his leg, and signs up to go on a scouting mission. Before he leaves, he takes his love in his arms, and kisses her for the last time. The tears are hard to hold back, but he manages. He cannot say goodbye to her, or tell her, she would never let him do what had to be done.
During the scouting mission, he gets himself far enough ahead of the others, and then disappears. It is nightfall before they stop looking for him. He walks far, far off, watching the stars as he does, and thinking of when he and his love had looked upon them that night. He can feel the infection working its course, and sits underneath a large tree in a city park. He puts a pistol to his chin, and thinks of everyone whom he must leave behind, but most of all, he thinks of her. The tears finally come, as he pulls the trigger.

Whenever I put music to things, I can't help but add little details, and try to make the story my own. I think I might have put a tad too much time into this though.
