[English]

I I am the one The one

who last contol control

but in the end i'll be the

Last man standing

I I am the one the one

Who sold his soul his soul

Forever come to be the

Last man standig tall

Glorious

Noble in my mind

Everything a fight to win

taking all and giving

Whatever my pride would to let me

Not backing down not giving in

I wouldn't lose I couldn't

I I am the one the one

Who lost control control

but in the end i'll be the

Last man standing

I I am the one The one

Who sold his soul his soul

Forever come to be the

Last man standing tall

I walk alone

With my head held high

Never felt that I belong

Stand my ground at all costs

running through life with blindfolds

Just for the right -right to be wrong

Nothing would rule my world but

I I am the one The one

Who lost control control

But in the end I'll be the

Last man standing

I I am the one The one

Who sold his soul his soul

Forever come to be the

Last man standig tall

Nothing would rule my world but

I I am the one the one

Who lost control control

But in the end I'll be the

Last man standig

I I am the one The one

Who sold his soul His soul

Forever come to be the

Last man standing

I I am the one The one

Who lost control control

But in the end i'd be the

Last man standig

I I am the one The one

Who sold his soul his soul

Forever come to be the

Last man standing tall

Seeing clearer what i've done

I'd refuse to let things go

I could never once admit I'm wrong

And what do I have to show?

Seeing clearer what's at stake

And the things I have to change

I just hope i can, it's not too late

to get a chance to end this pain
