Benediction 02:41
the reverend: "This is a time to celebrate! Remove all the fear. Its well known, the fate before us first thing we could all see clear always wanted to go apocalyptic but the world went first blood and wine flow thick like the river deep is my thirst this is a time to celebrate! So fire every last motherfucker you got Consquences - never more irrelevant. So take your last shot."

lyrics by pat never saw the warning signs couldn't peer past the wall of material that kept us blind that kept us lame the famous so fleeting and ethereal how we followed and how we bought into the plan of the all-seeing eye the one that lied and sold us lines I wont comply - but don't leave me behind x 4 truth is we never had a chance to feel free knowing fear's what drove us to make a world of unfiltered love and now we burn so lost and furious if I could run I would run to you holding onto this dream called good life if I could sing, i'd not be heard through the hopeless cries - but don't leave me behind x 4 same way it's always been color your pride - in shades of sin we've lost this gift we've got no time now I won't comply - but don't leave me behind

No Tomorrow 04:22
lyrics - matt summer heat will boil that skin tonight we're altogether in tonight we forget who we are tonight we're leaving scars I see man's destruction right outside my window pane I smile at the violent reflection my spirit isn't vain there'll be no trace of us tomorrow there will be no more sorrow the time is now to live because we'll never live again gunshots chaos all is lost tonight there is no moral cost brimstone fire hell on earth I see how much we're truly worth retribution human evil sinner and saint are equal forgiveness doesn't matter when all that is - is scattered there'll be no trace of us tomorrow there will be no more sorrow the time is now to live because we'll never live again

lyrics - pat listen close - you can hear the dead they call our names they got a place for us all they wait and they pray that the end will swiftly come and go not linger harsh and so sick with woe raise the sadness we've all come to know so well if you turn around, you'll see the dead in the shadows they will show the way for us when we all burn to dust that the end will swiftly come and go not linger harsh and so sick with woe raise the sadness we've all come to know so well
5.
My Savior 02:49
lyrics - matt my savior, you hunger drunk on holy wine labor under my faith indifferent to the divine my savior, you murder like my dinosaur kin resolve this perfect crime no trace we've ever been feel it coming down - reassess your shit tomorrow jesus comin round - reposess what you have borrowed x2 my savior, I celebrate all that is real push my senses to the limit while my senses can feel my savior, I cast out what you would have me learn so I sing and drink my fill while your holy land burns feel it coming down - reassess your shit tomorrow jesus comin round - reposess what you have borrowed x2

lyrics - matt and the reverend i'm so tired of it all waiting for the end of everything we knew the way you look into the sky with mourning eyes I can tell you're just as through feeling - time takes its toll dealing - breaking down my sould beating down my soul the reverend : "We refuse to walk your righteous path. Our will is stronger than your capacity to devastate. Love of nature will indeed hold court this night But it is all arranged by true inner peace in this most dire state..." We came a long way to get to nowhere nowhere left to be Heaven hell oblivion or somewhere father let's wait and see feeling - time takes its toll dealing - breaking down my sould beating down my soul

At The Fall 03:54
lyrics - matt sifting through my memories like grains of sand beneath my feet slipping through the hourglass of bitterness the wars we fought and all we gained the walls we built will not remain trying to believe there's more than this and I pray for something and I wait for nothing some kind of sign to lead my way until the end of time today its you I wanted out here after all and all the times I cursed your name and prayed like hell you'd take the blame its you I waited out here at the fall isolation - give it time we're guilty of some kind of crime that makes us all penitent today and once I left the earth's embrace there'll be no hole left to replace and only the devil knows where I lay and I breathe for the last time and I breathe the burning sky some kind of sign to lead my way until the end of time today its you I wanted out here after all and all the times I lost my mind at all the emptiness outside its you I waited out here at the fall
9.
Last Call 03:14
lyrics - matt never cared for politicians never cared for progress, trne I lived my life inside a hole tried to fill it up with you all we ever had was each other and we gave it up, too so raise a glass and let humanity pass don't feel so broken and blue celebrate what is and never shall be drink some more with me never worried about calamity got no love for this society broke us down inside and out dont waste your voice to scream and shout all we ever had was each other and we gave it up, too so raise a glass and let humanity pass don't feel so broken and blue celebrate what is and never shall be drink some more with me

about

The idea was simple - who is hanging out at the party at the end of the world? Last Band was formed with an idea to complete a ten-song album in a month for the RPM record contest circling around that theme. As the imagined musical chronicler of this tale, we became the "Last Band On Earth."

After satisfying the conditions of the contest, we met Ryan and re-recorded two of the original 2009 demo performances, "No Tomorrow" and "Last Call." The original intent was to build on the original demo and replace some or all of the tracks with full-band versions. New material went in a different direction, and in the interests of having something to hand out at gigs, these tracks intermingled with newer full band recordings and the album idea was shelved, before Last Band itself was shelved early 2011.

Intended for release at multiple points over the years and remixed more times than "Chinese Democracy," this not so much a remaster, but fills out the original storyline and of what we started with those recordings. Keeping the original sequencing and improved sonic flow, and replacing the slapdash murkiness of the original recordings, this is a more satisfying and proper introduction to this part of our musical worlds.
