[Verse 1] Such existential horrors A human mind can hold My body feels much older Though I will not grow old I've sacrificed my future To make a difference now I've bent the steel to suture Though I do not know how [Chorus] I can't accept a placid fate I need to fashion something great My lungs contain the breath of life They breathe the acrid tang of strife And though I may not ever win I shall return; I'll rise again I am the last man I am the last man [Verse 2] There shouldn't be a reason For me to go on breathin' The Earth's in its last season Degenerits are legion I've wandered through the wasteland Endured the trials I've faced I'll hold until it rains and The grasp of Death's outpaced [Chorus] I can't accept a placid fate I need to fashion something great My lungs contain the breath of life They breathe the acrid tang of strife And though I may not ever win I shall return; I'll rise again I am the last man I am the last man Alive [short instrumental solo] [Bridge] I'll accept that chaos reins Only strength of will remains I can find the silent plains To soothe the grief that pains Building on the graves and bones Building toward The Great Unknown Nothing stands the test of time At least I'll make this mine [Chorus] I can't accept a placid fate I need to fashion something great My lungs contain the breath of life They breathe the acrid tang of strife And though I may not ever win I shall return; I'll rise again I am the last man I am the last man Alive
