Last Orders

That was your moment
At the top, in the light
Nobody tells you
That's the brightest you'll ever shine

Still you keep on, bloody minded
Praying kinder dice will fall
Driven on by desperation
Tired of feeling small
Till you hear last orders called

Unappreciated
They couldn't see what you have
Most, they couldn't touch you
But they had luck on their side

You never reached that dizzy summit
You never got beyond the wall
Somewhere inside you're still believing
You'll make it to the ball
Before you hear last orders called

Once you were flying
With the wind at your back
But now on reflection
You were too slow to react

They started running for the mountain
You barely broke into a crawl
Now you know you'll never catch up
Time has taken all
Soon you'll hear last orders called
Hear 'em called

Still you keep on, bloody minded
Praying kinder dice will fall
Driven on by desperation
Tired of feeling small
Till you hear last orders called
Hear 'em called
