The Last Boy On Earth

Cross my heart, I won’t let you down
Dot my eyes, I won’t let you rise
Love of life will be the death of you
With the gift of second sight I’d see what you would do
Fight them all and smite them all
Or they’ll come crawling back for more

You’re the last boy on earth I could love
But you’re the last boy on earth
You’re the man who gets the girl
Bold of heart and short of brain
The world is falling at your feet
But it will rise to fight again

The hounds of hell have hunted you
They bite your heel, they scratch your back
They will devour you
You fight with valour, show no fear
But you show little else, my dear

If the hoards may tear you down
I’ll show the strength to keep you there
If sacrifice is needed now
Within a heartbeat I will dare
There may be trouble ahead
But while there’s moonlight and music
And you and the death
I’ll be the one to keep my head
