Sista mannen på jorden Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ett verk av de bästa på vår jord
Hon tåler allt var deras ord
Vi for med flaggorna i topp
Mänsklighetens sista hopp

Stanna kvar, stanna kvar
Jag lovar att det är ingen fara
Stanna kvar

Stanna kvar, stanna kvar
Det ska hon klara, ingen fara
Stanna kvar

Som en gigant i rymdens hav
Så seglar vi till våran grav

En explosion, ett ljsu och sen
Ett par lugna ord från vår kapten
