"Last of My Kind" as written by and William B. Duvall Jerry Cantrell....
So young, so braise and so unholy
I come to you in painted skies
You're broken, taint your ancient story
The living challenge you their lies
Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
And they want to force my hand
Until I take what I wanted
And break all their lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing on the wall
Oh, from out upon the hillside
I am but what they've thrown away
I go to sleep behind the eight ball
I live to fight for one more day
I'm trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
And they want to force my hand
Until I take what I wanted
And break all their lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen
Take what I wanted
And break all the lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing on the wall
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing on the wall
The last of my kind still standing
The last of my kind still standing
I come to you in painted skies
You're broken, taint your ancient story
The living challenge you their lies
Trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
And they want to force my hand
Until I take what I wanted
And break all their lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing on the wall
Oh, from out upon the hillside
I am but what they've thrown away
I go to sleep behind the eight ball
I live to fight for one more day
I'm trapped in the cold outside
There ain't no shelter
And they want to force my hand
Until I take what I wanted
And break all their lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen
Take what I wanted
And break all the lies
And defeat the fucking liars
Smash all the temples
And crawl through the rubble
And cry to the fallen
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing on the wall
I'm the last of my kind still standing
I'm the last of my kind still standing on the wall
The last of my kind still standing
The last of my kind still standing

On the contrary, it is the Christ singing in this song, buddy. He's angry at the world, and at you.
Observe Isaiah 63:
“I have trodden the wine trough alone,
And from the peoples there was no man with Me.
I also trod them in My anger
And trampled them in My wrath;
And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments,
And I stained all My raiment.
For the day of vengeance was in My heart,
And My year of redemption has come.
I looked, and there was no one to help,
And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold;
So My own arm brought salvation to Me,
And My wrath upheld Me.
I trod down the peoples in My anger
And made them drunk in My wrath,
And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
Cheers ^_^.
Yeah, i know its 99.9% wrong but its how i saw it. Hope you enjoy my interpretation
Either way, great song.
I saw the new AIC with Will. They opened with "Them Bones!" You couldn't pick a better opener if you tried. This band can still rock your face and kick your ass. Don't be fooled by their age or new frontman.
He's the last man standing while some fell into heaven and some into hell.
He's alone because he's not one of 'them' nor is he really living but he's not in the matrix of the unconscious.
He has no one to shelter him from himself or the world so he goes back to sleep and fights through another day.
But the time has come where he's been called on to take what he relly wanted (i think this is probably to be enjoying his life with the living) but then to deliver his message and to destroy the temples of love (dogma/blind faith/guilt/coverteousness etc) and the little white lies. He doesnt really want to because he understands the consequences however he isnt jesus, he's just another man nailed to the cross so he will be forced to because he has no choice.
Good song...about shame and pride...in my 'umble opinion.
