This song was originally intended to be part of a collection of songs released in conjunction with the AMC TV show, The Walking Dead, according to Danzig. That soundtrack never came to fruition. “The Last Ride” was instead released as a single from Danzig’s own album, Black Laden Crown.
[Intro]
Lay you down, lay you dead
No more tears, no more breath
[Verse 1]
And my numbness chills my side
And then there's nothing 'til the sunlight cries
The glazing eyes all full of flies
And then there's nothing 'til the sunlight rise
When you walk that vale/veil of night
And you're too numb to realize
That you're going out on your last ride
And I'm lonely
When the world has died
And I'm killing time
Down on my last ride
And I'm lonely
When the world has gone and died
Well I'm lonely
When the world has died
Yet I'm killing time
Down on my last ride
Fuck I'm lonely
When the world has come and died (Hey!)
[Chorus/Outro]
And I'm gonna take that ride
And I'm gonna take that ride
And never gonna see that light (Yeah!)
Just killing time on my last ride (Hey!)
And I'm gonna take that ride
And I'm gonna take that ride
And never gonna see that light (Yeah!)
Just killing time on my last ride (Hey!)
