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're alright

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're alright

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
