4. Sole Survivor (4:04)
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
There walked a lonely man, silent, mute, the only man
Not knowing how, not knowing why was he the sole survivor
Why should he be alive, breathing still while others died?
And the only question, why was he the sole survivor?
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Wind blew across the sand, he stood alone and he had no plan
And with the last rays of the sun, he screamed aloud began to run
In his tears he sees his face, "I am the end of the human race
When I'm gone there'll be no trace, for I'm the sole survivor!"
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom]
One night when years had passed, the sky shook from a fiery blast
And there a starship, saved at last to come rescue this survivor
They beckoned him inside, but only man, he would not ride
Instead he found a place to hide for he's the sole survivor
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
There walked a lonely man, silent, mute, the only man
Not knowing how, not knowing why was he the sole survivor
Why should he be alive, breathing still while others died?
And the only question, why was he the sole survivor?
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
[Verse 2: Eric Bloom]
Wind blew across the sand, he stood alone and he had no plan
And with the last rays of the sun, he screamed aloud began to run
In his tears he sees his face, "I am the end of the human race
When I'm gone there'll be no trace, for I'm the sole survivor!"
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night

Sole survivor, cursed with second sight

Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior, cried into the night
