The really heavy grinding riff that is the meat of this song reminded me of some type of musical horror show, so I tried to plot the vocals accordingly. It's about some body stealing supernatural being that is destined to live until the end of time. (Wow.) The thing is, the soul of the person who's body he's currently stealing, is transferred into his old dying one, over and over. Oh yeah, and he calls his victims via telepathy, because he actually has some remorse, and uses the bodies he takes until the bitter end. Well, it sounds better in the song... There are a few more good twists, but, well, you listen to it! I can't ruin everything! LOL

Download "Last One"

I'm blind, but still see
I'm deaf, but I still hear everything
Mouth sewn, virtualized
done to me the day they told you I died

Come to me, and feel me breathe
grasp my chest as it heaves in rhythym
Mesmerized, I've locked your eyes
Traumatized, you'll do my bidding now

Electronic gaze, a conscious haze
peel your soul from your dying mind
Eternity, belong to me
your soul is trapped forever in cryodine

You're kind, to see me
but you heard the rumours, you should've known better
Well I knew, you'd be here
I've summoned you from within your simple mind.

We'll trade today, and here you'll lay
I guess you'd say that you've bartered your body
And in return, your soul will churn
within this lifeless husk I'm trapped in now...

Please forgive me, I was born...

to be the last one, last one, last one, to leave this world
last one, last one, last one

You're not the first one
you're sure not the last one either
But I'm cold, and I'm tired
of rotting down in this dark lab of circuitry

No apology, will make you see
why I drop you in this dying body
What's done is done, your time has come
The transfer of your lifeforce begins now
