The Last One Left Lyrics

Sergeant Thomas, airbourne, SAS, I'm the best

I'm the one they send when the situation's a mess

Under the cover of darkness, I'm the company marksman

I'm in enemy positions and the mission is arson

Incendiary ready, set a faster fuse

When the factory goes up it'll plaster the news

I'm learning that our presence is no longer a secret

And the taliban are underhand and ready to reap it

The sky is lighting up like its the 5th of November

There isn't any cover and I vividly remember

Seeing bodies dropping, blood spray, pistols popping, cocking, locking

Night vision, trigger finger loose, heart stopping

When I touched the trigger and my carbine clicked

I'm the only one standing, their machine gun skipped

The LC to my right starts screaming in pain

My brother to the left caught one right in the brain

I drop like rain, lay prone, grab another gun

Let a few shots off, grenade, get up then run

I'm in the middle of the desert, derailed and on my own

Cover blown, mission failed, stuck in the kill zone

We all hope, we don't lose our way

We all hope, that we win the day

We all hope, we stand tall and brave

We all hope, we all hope

I'm needing extraction, an escape from the action

And a helicopter quick because the trucks get no traction

In the sand, send up a flare and pray for a sighting

I figure if I'm going out I'll go down fighting

I was born for this regiment from when it was founded

As a youngen fell in love with how artillery sounded

Never phased when the ground all around is pounded

Parachute regiments we're meant to be surrounded

I'm staying grounded as the enemy are closing in

Frag in my hand, I'm pulling out the pin

Close my eyes and envision how the show goes down

When I hear the Chinook flying, then it mows them down

Hose them down, they've come for me let's throw it down

I throw my frag, I empty my clip, complete the round

I'm lying on the chopper tryna catch my breath

How can it be that I'm the last one left
