The Last Showdown

THE LAST SHOWDOWN (Verse 1)  Since we were young, it was fire and gasoline,  Two cold shadows in the same damn dream.  You'd throw a punch, I'd throw it right back,  Years of scars laid across the same track. Every close call, every narrow escape,  One of us slippin', one of us changing shape.  Thought I had you cornered a hundred times before,  But you'd disappear like smoke through a closing door. (Pre-Chorus)  Everybody watching, placing their bets,  A story unfinished that nobody forgets.  Round and round, no settling scores,  Till fate kicked open these final doors. (Chorus)  Tonight is the last showdown, no running away,  No lucky break coming to save the day.  The moon's hanging low and the tension's wound tight,  One of us falls in the dead of the night.  It's the last showdown, hear the crowd hold their breath,  Two legends dancing with the kiss of death.  Blood on the ground, truth finally found,  When the dust settles down...  I'm the one still standing around. (Verse 2)  You wore confidence like a loaded gun,  Always talking big when the battle was won.  But underneath all the smoke and the pride,  I could see the fear that you buried inside. Every betrayal, every crooked grin,  Every cheap shot you were calling a win.  Now we're face to face beneath the neon glow,  Nowhere left to hide, nowhere left to go. (Pre-Chorus)  The air feels electric, the danger's alive,  Years of bad blood coming into the light.  Nobody's leaving the way that they came,  Only one name survives this game. (Chorus)  Tonight is the last showdown, no running away,  No lucky break coming to save the day.  The moon's hanging low and the tension's wound tight,  One of us falls in the dead of the night.  It's the last showdown, hear the crowd hold their breath,  Two legends dancing with the kiss of death.  Blood on the ground, truth finally found,  When the dust settles down...  I'm the one still standing around. (Bridge)  Steel in my veins, ice in my stare,  You swung with rage, I answered with care.  Minute by minute, blow after blow,  A long steady war finally reaching its close. The silence was louder than anything said,  One heartbeat pounding, one river of red.  A lifetime of conflict came crashing apart,  As victory carved its name into my heart. (Final Chorus)  This is the last showdown, the end of the line,  No more shadows chasing yours or mine.  The stars bear witness, the night testifies,  To the fall of a rival beneath these skies.  It's the last showdown, hear the echoes resound,  Of a war that shook this old battleground.  You fought till the end, I'll give you that crown,  But when the smoke cleared out... I was victorious.  As always.  Still standing.  Still breathing.  Still wearing the crown. (Outro)  No more running.  No more games.  No more unfinished business calling my name.  One story ended where the dark meets dawn...  And I walked away while the legend lived on. 🎸🔥
