Title:
“One Last Stand”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[E]Been running on empty, [A]lost in the fray,
[D]Baring our hearts on the [G]edge of the day.
[E]Shadows are falling, [A]dusk takes the land,
[D]We lift up our voices for [G]one last stand.
(Chorus)
[C]One last stand, in the [G]firelight glow,
[D]Screaming our dreams to the [E]night.
[C]One last stand, where the [G]wild winds blow,
[D]Ready to put up a [E]fight.
(Verse 2)
[E]Walls closing in, [A]faith wearing thin,
[D]But we won’t break, we [G]won’t give in.
[E]Souls intertwined, [A]passion unchained,
[D]We’ll keep on playing, [G]through the pain.
(Chorus)
[C]One last stand, in the [G]starry abyss,
[D]Echoes of the dreams we’re [E]chasing.
[C]One last stand, in the [G]midst of the mist,
[D]It’s our future we’re [E]embracing.
