Valley Of Last Resort

Gustavo Santaolalla

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] When the ghost of a sweet raving beast connects with your soul When the thought of the unfinished fight won’t let you go When injustice still feeds on the frail we all know That the power of freak needs to speak to the world once more Maybe chains are not broken by hope but they’re rattled by prayer And the peace that we reach for leaves fire and smoke in the air If the world turns its back on our rights there’ll be nеws to report On the battles bеgun in the valley of last resort [Chorus] Truth is the point of the arrow They fed us lies in the past And the road ahead is narrow but fast In the end we’ll shout "life matters" at last [Verse 2] If regret was contagious the world would be drowning in tears Does the plague open hearts open minds so the world finally hears? There’s a tipping point past when we witness a life cut short Send the honor God formed in the valley of last resort [Chorus] Oh truth is the point of the arrow They fed us lies in the past And the road ahead is narrow but fast In the end we’ll shout "life matters" at last And the road ahead is narrow but fast In the end we’ll shout "life matters" at last [Bridge] [Verse 3] And the anthems of freedom won’t be sunk by the voices we’ve lost Bless the hearts names and faces the shock of the deadly cost Warriors kneeling for justice demanding other people’s court Send the honor God formed in the valley of last resort [Chorus] Oh truth is the point of the arrow They fed us lies in the past And the road ahead is narrow but fast In the end we’ll shout "life matters" at last And the road ahead is narrow but fast In the end we’ll shout "life matters" at last [Instrumental] [Chorus] Oh truth is the point of the arrow They fed us lies in the past And the road ahead is narrow but fast In the end we’ll shout "life matters" at last And the road ahead is narrow but fast In the end we’ll shout "life matters" at last [Outro] Oh yeah Oh yeah

La chanson aborde des thèmes de lutte et de justice, évoquant la connexion profonde entre la souffrance, l'injustice et le désir de changement. Elle souligne que parfois, ce ne sont pas simplement nos espoirs qui nous libèrent, mais davantage nos prières et notre détermination à agir face aux défis. Elle évoque aussi le fait que la vérité est essentielle pour avancer, même sur un chemin semé d'embûches. Malgré les obstacles, le refrain rappelle que la vie a de l'importance et que des voix s'élèveront pour défendre nos droits, même en temps de crise. Le contexte de cette œuvre résonne particulièrement dans des luttes contemporaines pour la justice, où de nombreuses vies sont touchées par la violence et l'inégalité. La chanson invite à reconnaître et honorer ceux qui se battent pour la vérité et la dignité humaine, même dans les moments les plus sombres.
