Last Watch

Lyrics

Lighthouse keeper on a black north shore Forty winters, maybe more Saw the longships coming in the fog Lit the fire and woke the dog The last watch The last man standing The last watch On the burning landing I will hold the line tonight I will be the final light The last watch til the morning Sent the boy down through the cellar Sent him running to the town Stayed behind to ring the bell Stayed behind to bring it down The last watch The last man standing The last watch On the burning landing I will hold the line tonight I will be the final light The last watch til the morning And the axes came And the torches rose And the bell still rang As the cold wind blows The boy made it to the gate The town was warned He didn't wait The last watch The last watch The last watch The last man standing The last watch On the burning landing I will hold the line tonight I will be the final light The last watch til the morning
