Last man standing

I’m dead
You’re dead
Were dead again
For the sins you’ve scorned my friend,

I’m dead
You’re dead
We’re all so dead
Once more again
We’re dead.

We ride
We try
We loose our pride
For time is never to be on our side.
We sin again
We loose this bet
But no one ever wins my friend
No one ever wins again
The last man standing is me.

I’m dead
You’re dead
We’re all dead
To live is but a dream
We fight for safety
Loosing saves me
I have a grace yet unseen
I have a grace yet to be.

For if we loose this one last war
We might be somber,
Therefore
We live inside
Our own lies
What we consider once a life
What we consider so right
The last man standing is me,
I was the man you wanted to be
Isn’t it odd, that you chose me?
Yes the last man standing is me…

Nothing like a battle to the death where everyone dies.  Nice write.

a trickle of music from a well
let it spill and roar like hell!
