The Last Hero

Alter Bridge

Can you hear the marching, beating of the drums
Once again the dogs are out for blood
Words and accusations, history revised
The time has gone to tell that you are right

Oh how you tried
I know that you tried
To save us

Save us

I remember dreaming not so long ago
The change was gonna come, I still had hope
How long must I keep waiting, feeling so ignored
Is anything worth saving anymore

I just don't know
But need you so

Don't let us fall again
We can't fight this on our own
Who'll save us in the end
Have we lost our last hero

Tyrants overtaking intoxicate with lies
There is no escaping, not this time
The simple man receiving, defending every crime
Somehow still believing they are right
So hypnotized

Don't let us fall again
We can't fight this on our own
Who'll save us in the end
Have we lost our last hero

Tell me where are the heroes
No
Tell me where are the heroes
No, no
Have we lost all our heroes
No

How could this be, we couldn't see
Now we are left here to fight this on our own

Build them up to tear them down
What we've done I'm far from proud
Chew 'em up
Spit 'em up
In the end
Who'll save us now

Can you hear the marching, beating of the drums
Once again the dogs are out for blood
Words and accusations, history revised
The time has gone to tell that you are right

Don't let us fall again
We can't fight this on our own
Who'll save us in the end
Have we lost our last hero

Have we reached the end
Are we last to know
Are we still afraid
Nowhere left to go
No, it's much too late
There's no hope to see
There is still a chance left
For you and me
