Last Call for the Damned

(Intro — jukebox static / slow guitar)

This one’s for the ones still awake at 2 AM…

Still fighting battles nobody sees.

(Verse 1)

Bar lights bleeding red and blue

Empty glasses, half-truths

Everybody here’s got scars

Hidden underneath the dark

Bartender says, “You doing alright?”

I fake a grin and say, “Tonight”

But my hands still shake from years

Of carrying invisible fears

(Pre-Chorus)

Then the speakers start to scream

And suddenly I can breathe

(Chorus)

This is the last call for the damned

For the outcasts and the broken men

For every soul that lost their way

But somehow made it here today

Raise your scars into the air

If you’ve ever felt beyond repair

Tonight we live, tonight we stand

One last call for the damned

(Verse 2)

Old band posters on the wall

Names of legends who still haunt these halls

They sang about pain like they knew mine

Like survival could still sound divine

And for a second I felt less alone

Like the music pulled me home

Not fixed, not healed, not clean

Just finally understood for me

(Pre-Chorus)

No saints left to save us now

So we save each other in the crowd

(Chorus)

This is the last call for the damned

For the outcasts and the broken men

For every soul that lost their way

But somehow made it here today

Raise your scars into the air

If you’ve ever felt beyond repair

Tonight we live, tonight we stand

One last call for the damned

(Breakdown)

SING FOR THE ONES

WHO NEVER CAME HOME

SCREAM FOR THE HEARTS

THAT DIED ALONE

WE ARE THE LOST

BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

WE BUILT A FAMILY

FROM THE ROCK BOTTOM

(Bridge — emotional clean vocals)

Maybe heaven’s just a crowded room

Full of strangers singing the same tune

Maybe hope sounds rough and loud

Like a broken voice inside the crowd

(Final Chorus)

This is the last call for the damned

And tonight we understand

We were never truly alone

Just souls searching for a home

Now the amplifiers shake the walls

As the final curtain falls

And even when the lights all end

We’ll sing again…

We’ll sing again.

(Outro — crowd chanting fades out)

Whoa-oh-oh…

Whoa-oh-oh…

Last call…

For the damned.
