Alter Bridge - Last Man Standing lyrics
[Alter Bridge - Last Man Standing lyrics]
Prosper at any cost
In a world for the taking
But fortunes are gained and lost
By the beast of your making
You can't hold on it's way too strong
You're drawn to the flame
Before it's too late
You must realize the compromise is never
Worth it all in the end, no
When you're the last man standing
But the first to sell your soul
The truth can be so damning
You will face the world alone
The spoils that we choose to seek
Are not for the keeping
The sweet taste of victory
Is fragile and fleeting
But when it's gone you must move on
You'rе drawn to the flame
Beforе it's too late
You must realize the compromise is never
Worth the ones that you let go
When you're the last man standing
But the first to sell your soul
The truth can be so damning
You will face the world alone
I hope it's worth it all in the end, though
You know it's hard for me to pretend
Sometimes it would be easy to just let go
But, I know just how that's gonna end
For the shallow gains
Are never worth the pain
The love you pushed away
Can never be replaced left to die
You're on your own
Avarice and vice brings you down in time
Drawn to the flame
You're the last man standing
But the first to sell your soul
The truth can be so damning
You will face the world alone
In a world for the taking
But fortunes are gained and lost
By the beast of your making
You can't hold on it's way too strong
You're drawn to the flame
Before it's too late
You must realize the compromise is never
Worth it all in the end, no
When you're the last man standing
But the first to sell your soul
The truth can be so damning
You will face the world alone
The spoils that we choose to seek
Are not for the keeping
The sweet taste of victory
Is fragile and fleeting
But when it's gone you must move on
You'rе drawn to the flame
Beforе it's too late
You must realize the compromise is never
Worth the ones that you let go
When you're the last man standing
But the first to sell your soul
The truth can be so damning
You will face the world alone
I hope it's worth it all in the end, though
You know it's hard for me to pretend
Sometimes it would be easy to just let go
But, I know just how that's gonna end
For the shallow gains
Are never worth the pain
The love you pushed away
Can never be replaced left to die
You're on your own
Avarice and vice brings you down in time
Drawn to the flame
You're the last man standing
But the first to sell your soul
The truth can be so damning
You will face the world alone
