Lyrics for Last Stand

Oh, let me be free Light doesn't promise heat Carving out the negative space Cut it with a steady hand, with certainty Fires burn and fade away Black to white and then to gray Light it up and make it shine Don't turn back, no place to hide Time to speak of love and hope Life and death and letting go Taking each day not as it comes Make it new and make it your own The path that you choose can lead you astray All roads we take end the same way Whether we are the hunter or prey Doubter, believer, depends on the day And where will you go as time zero flies? When will you reach the end of the line? One final stand, the world spins around us Gold in the skies, find it, can move it in!
