Can you hear the war-cry? The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks Welcome to the skirmish (I can’t feel my legs) Give me morphine, give me morphine, give me more! No doubt This is a tragedy for all (But it ain't over yet) Head's up and thank f*ck you're still alive! Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) Still alive Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) I wanna lie here and soak up the sun But do not alight here, you cannot outrun “this could be the end” he said, “the end my child” So I made good use of my face and I smiled Can you hear the war-cry? The epinephrine plows through the barriers Welcome to the skirmish (I can’t feel my arms!) Give me opium, give me opium, give me help! No doubt This is a tragedy for all (But it ain't over yet) Head's up and thank f*ck you're still alive! Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) Still alive Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) I wanna lie here and soak up the sun But do not alight here, you cannot outrun “this could be the end” he said, “the end my child” So I made good use of my face and I smiled Let’s toast to the fact we got this far Let’s toast to the fact we got this far The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks welcome to the skirmish) The epinephrine plows through the barriers welcome to the skirmish The adrenaline bursts through the riverbanks welcome to the skirmish) Head's up and thank f*ck you're still alive! Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) Still alive Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) Head's up and thank f*ck you're still alive! Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) You're still alive Still air in my lungs Still blood in my veins (We’re part of the last garrison) Yeah we're still alive
