[Intro]

One more spotlight (One more spotlight)

Starts to fade to black (Starts to fade to black)

One more winding road (One more winding road)

That I won't come back (That I won't come back)

The roar I lived for (The roar I lived for)

It starts to die (It starts to die)

And now it's time for me (And now it's time for me)

To say the long goodbye (To say the long goodbye)


[Verse 1]

Each mile, the road has worn me thin

Each song has got beneath my skin

The strings and amps still scream and cry

And I can't outrun the spinning hands of time


[Pre-Chorus]

One last night before the silence falls

One last chord to echo through these walls


[Chorus]

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all

Now it's just memories in my mind

Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again

Then let this last note never die


[Verse 2]

I burned up my youth almost every night

Each show became a battle and a fight

Raised on chaos, fed by the crowd

The guitar got heavy, time to lay it down


[Pre-Chorus]

One last night before the silence falls

One last chord to echo through these walls


[Chorus]

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all

Now it's just memories in my mind

Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again

Then let this last note never die


[Instrumental Break]


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all

Now it's just memories in my mind

Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again

Then let this last note never die

The final curtain falls, a quiet end to it all

Now it's just memories in my mind

Just fading lights and names, if I ever play again

Then let this last note never die, never die


[Outro]

They gave me gold

They gave me a name

But every deal

Was signed in blood and flames

So here's my last will

My final testament, my sneer

I came, I ruled

Now I disappear
