In this song we express our passion for music metaphorically through fire....
The Hope Dies Last as you knew it is nomore.. sorry guys..
But all of Monte's following projects will go by "Hope Dies Last".. The moral of the story: never get your band name tattooed on your butt... haha.. only kidding..
Story behind the song
Jasper came up with the whole concept of this song while writing one day and put it all on paper.. Later on Monte added a few finishing touches on the words, then Monte came up with the musical arrangement... Spencer joined us in the recording process and we threw the whole song together real fast.. It's kinda sloppy and hasn't been mixed or edited.... The re-recorded/mixed & edited version will be available later...
Lyrics
So now I stand on these hot coals, will they hold or will they go, right through my feet and blister me till I cant stand here anymore.
The words on my tounge detain, direct my songs to fame, dance all night with the flame and the pain...
These ashes building me up within, they've scolded me from the inside out, and this cold blood, that I bleed has left me addicted without a doubt...
and I'm layin here lifeless beneath the neck, with all the strength that I have left, I'll recite whats on these papers and dous the flames within my chest...
But I'm not screamin or bleedin, this must be all that I needed, just to let you know that I'm a better man...
(and I'm a better man, and I'm a better man)
Each time, that I lay down, I try to fall in peace, but every single time I try, I awake to this disease..
Forgive me, I cant sleep, your whispers not enough anymore... Feed me with your drug, feed me with your drug.....
But I'm not screamin or bleedin, this must be all that I needed, just to let you know that I'm a better man...
(and I'm a better man, and I'm a better man)
