“Duke Nukem” 12. Duke’s Last Stand

[Verse 1]
The city's flames reflect in steel
I walk through ruin, bold and bare
The world once knelt beneath my heel
Now demons crawl and foul the air

[Verse 2]
My boots still crush the skulls of fiends
Their blood a paint upon my path
I am the storm that shreds their dreams
The wrath of gods, the Duke of Wrath

[Pre-Chorus]
They thought I'd fade, a dying breed—
But legends burn when cowards bleed

[Chorus]
This is the end, but I won't fall
I’ll blaze through hell with guns in hand
You hear my voice, you hear the call—
Now bow before the Duke's last stand!

[Verse 3]
The skies are black, the moon is red
The bastards came to take my throne
But I’m the king they thought was dead
The voice of steel, the rock, the stone

[Verse 4]
I’ve punched through time and crushed a god
I've made the alien filth my prey
This planet’s mine, soil, sea and sod—
So back the hell off, or you’ll pay

[Pre-Chorus]
I light a cigar, cock my gun—
This war ain't over till I’ve won

[Chorus]
This is the end, but I won't fall
I’ll blaze through hell with guns in hand
You hear my voice, you hear the call—
Now bow before the Duke's last stand!

[Bridge - Slow and epic]
From Vegas lights to Martian dust
They carved my name in fear and rust
My ego fuels the final flame
They’ll die still choking on my name

[Instrumental guitar solo – shreds and wails of glory]

[Final Chorus - Double-time, triumphant]
This is the end, but I won't fall
I’ll blaze through hell with guns in hand
You hear my voice, you hear the call—
Now bow before the Duke's last stand!

So raise the horns, and raise the dead
The King is back, long live the man!
With demons crushed and planets bled
They’ll sing of me — the Duke’s last stand!
