This is the last song
Fade up the light
File from the dance floor
Back into the night
First there was tension
Then came release
You got what you came for
Leave here in peace
We'll meet again right here some night
If not this place, another
We'll play our tunes, if not for you
Then maybe for your brother
If not for him, your sister, or
Someone who looks much like her
And if it's not we who play
May songs unborn delight her
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
It's over for now
The beat just kep a-rollin'
And got here somehow
Silence spread thin like
The skin of a drum
First there was rhythm
Then there was none
Take a stack of rhythm parts
And pump them full of thunder
Two parts lightning in the dark
And one part naked wonder
Sing the parts that can be sung
And trust the heart for guidance
Ring the bells that can be rung
And leave the rest to silence
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
You've heard it before
It says what it says
It says nothing more
From the beginning
The end is in sight
Time is the rhythm
Love is the light
This is the last song
Now it's complete
Live in the rhythm
Trust to the beat
Stars in the heaven
Birds in the nest
This is the last song
Go home now and rest
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song
