Last Man Standing

Lyrics

Prosper at any cost
 In a world for the taking (taking)
 But fortunes are gained and lost
 By the beast of your making
 You can't hold on (hold on)
 It's way too strong (way too strong)
 You're drawn to the flame
 Before it's too late
 You must realize the compromise is never
 Worth it all in the end, no
 When you're the last man standing
 But the first to sell your soul (soul)
 The truth can be so damning
 You will face the world alone (alone, alone)
 ♪
 The spoils that we choose to seek
 Are not for the keeping (keeping)
 The sweet taste of victory (victory)
 Is fragile and fleeting
 But when it's gone (but when it's gone)
 You must move on (you must move on)
 You're drawn to the flame
 Before it's too late
 You must realize the compromise is never
 Worth the ones that you let go
 When you're the last man standing
 But the first to sell your soul (soul)
 The truth can be so damning
 You will face the world alone (alone, alone)
 ♪
 I hope it's worth it all in the end, though
 You know it's hard for me to pretend (to pretend)
 Sometimes, it would be easy to just let go (go)
 But I know just how that's gonna end (end)
 For the shallow gains
 Are never worth the pain
 The love you pushed away
 Can never be replaced
 Left to die
 You're on your own
 ♪
 Avarice and vice
 ♪
 Brings you down in time
 Drawn to the flame
 You're the last man standing
 But the first to sell your soul
 The truth can be so damning
 You will face the world alone (alone)
