The Last Hero

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 --- The Last Hero - Alter Bridge
