Last to Die

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We took the highway till the road went black We marked 'Truth Or Consequences' on our map A voice drifted up from the radio We saw the voice from long ago [Chorus] Who'll be the last to die for a mistake The last to die for a mistake Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break Who'll be the last to die for a mistake [Verse 2] The kids asleep in the backseat We're just counting the miles you and me We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore We just stack the bodies outside the door [Chorus] Who'll be the last to die for a mistake The last to die for a mistake Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break Who'll be the last to die for a mistake [Bridge] The wise men were all fools What to do [Verse 3] The sun sets in flames as the city burns Another day gone down as the night turns And I hold you here in my heart As things fall apart [Verse 4] A downtown window flushed with light Faces of the dead at five (faces of the dead at five) A martyr's silent eyes Petition the drivers as we pass by [Chorus] Who'll be the last to die for a mistake The last to die for a mistake Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break Who'll be the last to die Who'll be the last to die for a mistake The last to die for a mistake Darling your tyrants and kings form the same fate Strung up at your city gates And you're the last to die for a mistake
