The Last Stand of Shazeb Andleeb Lyrics

And on this smoggy day
He tried to make his way
But odds were six to one

He had no chance to fight
He ascended into light
Light brighter than the sun

Did you almost feel the pain?
It will never be the same
The desecration of this glebe

He came from Pakistan
To the halls of Narbonne
This is the last stand of Shazeb Andleeb

He had no chance to fight
He ascended into light
Light brighter than the sun

Did you almost feel the pain?
It will never be the same
The desecration of this glebe

He came from Pakistan
To the halls of Narbonne
This is the last stand of Shazeb Andleeb

Cover art for The Last Stand of Shazeb Andleeb lyrics by Frank Black and the Catholics

it's worth noting also that it's the same high school frank attended years before. that's what spurred him to write the song even though he had never met shazeeb.
