Tenacious D - The Last In Line Lyrics






We're the ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness
That it needs, yeah

We're a laugh without tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming, home!

We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never, come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth the lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

We don't come alone
We are fire, we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies
Between the good and bad

We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line, oh yeah

We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way to go is down

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line!

    Jack Black was actually good friends with Ronnie, you can hear the pain in Black's voice in areas.

    F.... ....

    This songs resonates with me so much

    I think your right

    Dios lyrics are timeless and more poignant posthumously

    JB is singing to and for one of his idols

  28. D.... B....

    A flute solo? I'm done

  29. B.... ....

    I heard the bands name many times but this is the only song from them I ever listen to n I love it. First found it like 3 years ago. Now, I've just found out, Jack Black is the singer in this ? Nothing in this world makes sense to me anymore

    B.... ....

    It's a cover from a good band dude

  30. c.... c....

    Such a great cover

  31. P.... J....

    Thank you to Tenacious D for this.. this truly is a great way to honor someone whose music really made a difference to a young kid who would hide from the world in his closet and let the music take him away.

  32. B.... G....

    Jack Frickin Black is a beast. Great cover.

  33. S.... S....

    Respect.

  34. d.... ....

    While Dio will forever be a god among men in metal, Jack did an amazing job. This is the best song Tenacious D has made. You can feel their admiration and love for Dio with how well they performed this. This is a true tribute to a legend.

  35. T.... M....

    It never ceases to amaze me how talented Jack Black And Kyle Glass are...

  36. R.... B....

    More songs need epic flute solos

  37. B.... B....

    Was anyone else really disappointed when the facemelting solo turned out to be a flute solo? was loving it up till that D=

  38. T.... P....

    best cover of all time JB amazing

  39. r.... W....

    Just had some Jack Daniels thought of listening to the do tribute. Jack black fucking soloed this song.#Badass

  40. m.... s....

    All this time I thought Disturbed covered this amazing job Jack great guitar work and the Flute?? best part

  41. m.... C....

    RIP James!

  42. c.... r....

    Holy fuck....

  43. A.... L....

    That flute solo worths the lifetime

    A.... L....

    Real flute or synth?

    A.... L....

    @Marvelous Marv Real recorder. Kyle Gass is a master of this instrument, and I had no idea how insanely beautiful a recorder can sound before I heard him play it.

  44. M.... W....

    HEY! I LIKE THIS

  45. p.... ....

    Did I hear a recorder?

    That's BDass!

    p.... ....

    Electric Dynamite!

  46. L.... V....

    The flute solo had me rolling on the floor laughing so hard...fuck this is awesome. I wanna have a baby with Jack Black. Such a fucking awesome piece of a human being.

  47. m.... ....

    Oh my FUCK is this bad ass!

  48. a.... ....

    Epic recorder solo

  49. N.... V....

    A Fuckin' Flute solo! <3

  50. E.... E....

    To me is one of the best tribute Song in the album. Jack Black is not dio ofc but he is his Number 1 fan, and in this song you can hear all his love and passion for dio's music. Is the only one who catch the true spirit of the song, unlike bigger names like Halford and Corey Taylor, 2 singer that i really love btw.

  51. S.... G....

    po has such a great voice..... not only does he kung fu.... he sings...

  52. T.... G....

    An amazing cover. That so many You Tubers hate it only adds to its utter and complete allure.

  53. E.... V....

    Very good cover!! DIO was one of the best and Tenacious is doing a great song!! Good for everyone!!

  54. b.... ....

    Jack Black is such an underrated singer. Sure his band is based on comedy, doesn't take away from the fact the bloke can sing.

    b.... ....

    Jables has always been a better singer than actor. Shame he never made his band the main goal, and just used it as a means to an end. These guys could be massive.

  55. B.... ....

    Can y'all just stop arguing and just enjoy this music, who gives a shit if it's better or not? It's a tribute worth listening to, yet you people have to have a problem with something and pollute the comment section with it.

    Just zip the lips and open the ears more.

    B.... ....

    Absolutely. Love this and Dio's original, just love the music and stop bickering. Dio would not approve of any negativity.

    B.... ....

    Amen! Dio baby! With the big D! 🤘🤘

    B.... ....

    @Dustin Garn Fuckin' A.

    B.... ....

    @ Jason nall Not everything needs to be compared. Just enjoy it or not. Do you compare your dick size to your son too?

    B.... ....

    Tenacious d made a whole song about Dio in their first album

    This isn't just a cover

    Dio is obviously a major influence for the D

    I have listened to this song over a 100 times over two days

    And I've also listened to loads of black Sabbath / Dio songs I never knew even existed

    The original songs guitar solo is amazing

    The fllute solo in this is so amazing and complimentary

    This song resonates with me in a way I never knew was possible !


    Edit

    Is it a recorder solo not a flute solo?

  56. W.... S....

    fucking awesome

  57. p.... w....

    I wish Tenacious D would cover more Dio songs
    After all they love dio
    When you count the times they have covered Dio songs live sometimes only sections
    They totally should make a Dio tribute album

  58. L.... C....

    You need to be a Legend for those to want to imitate and acknowledge you. Good on em for keeping Dio's music playing. RJD is sorely missed.

  59. G.... ....

    dammit i feel it, JB puts everything he's got in this tribute song for the great Dio, his idol and im crying of joy because of that

  60. T.... ....

    why they made this one a 3:42 min track. way too short

  61. G.... ....

    Kore wa Dio

  62. f.... p....

    Damn flute solo though

  63. V.... S....

    Osea que tenacious D ganó un Grammy con una canción que ni suya es sino de Dio

    V.... S....

    Es un tributo compadre, Dio era el ídolo de Jack Black. ¿No sientes todo el sentimiento que tiene cuando la canta?

  64. J.... t....

    This cover shows that the d is truly tenacious

  65. M.... ....

    everyone raise your glasses for a toast to the D

  66. P.... H....

    70 thumbs down you want burning at the stake. This is just a tribute.

  67. A.... W....

    Is that Dave on drums?

  68. J.... G....

    2:32 gave me goosebumps

  69. B.... D....

    System of a down > all the bands that people say deserved the Grammy more than the D

  70. E.... M....

    Killer recorder solo!!!! /,,/

  71. F.... K....

    The bold Jack fucking nails this

  72. T.... ....

    This is the way to be played,grandiose and over acted.

  73. G.... P....

    No seras hardcore si no vives hardcore

  74. T.... B....

    I'm surprised by a lack of Tenacious Dio jokes

    T.... B....

    Tommy Bel more or less because it's supposed to be a heartfelt tribute

    T.... B....

    I know, but there's also tons of backhanded compliments here so why not a joke

  75. c.... q....

    wow Jack Black has so much emotion in this song.

  76. m.... ....

    2:31 Getting medieval up in here

    m.... ....

    And it works perfectly

  77. c.... q....

    Jack Black is amazing!!!!!!!! go tenacious d!!!!! Grammy well deserved!

  78. J.... K....

    350 000 views.
    Now thats nice number! It was a honour.

  79. A.... M....

    very nice

  80. T.... M....

    You can tell the Ronnie was Jack's musical Idol and I think he did him proud with this cover.

  81. D.... O....

    You can definitely hear Jack's energy in this song. Dio was one of his heroes, and he honored the fuck out of him with this cover.

  82. A.... S....

    Tenacious d rules

  83. T.... ....

    OMG the intro sounds so pretty by JB <3

  84. a.... ....

    "Dio has rocked, for a long, long time;
    Now it's time for him to pass the torch"

    a.... ....

    lol i first read it as pass the crotch!

    a.... ....

    The torch was passed

    a.... ....

    He has songs of wildebeests and angels, HE HAS SOARED ON THE WINGS OF A DEMON

    a.... ....

    You’re to old to rock, no more rockin for you... RIP RJD we miss you

  85. A.... W....

    RESPECT! James Rooney Dio, always in our memory!!

  86. S.... ....

    Awesome cover! Jack Black nailed it. I also appreciate the Jethro Tull-vibe on the solo.

  87. R.... G....

    this is supposed to be funny, right?

    R.... G....

    Nope. Dio was one of Jack Black's biggest idols and he payed so much respect to him in this song. You can hear Jack's emotions in this song.

    R.... G....

    @BombTastiC- It's not bad, in fact it's really good. It's just that JB is known for comedy and some of it seemed like he was putting a comical twist on this metal classic.

    R.... G....

    Yeah I understand you. I personally think Tenacious D shouldn't be a comedy band because of Jack's singing abilities. I would love to hear one album of seriously made music from these guys.

  88. T.... S....

    You know it's bad when Tenacious D make one of the better covers on an album.

    T.... S....

    These two are extremely talented, what are you talking about?
    Jack Black is fantastic singer and Kyle Gass is a badass guitarist.

    T.... S....

    +Bland Francis but you have to look like you walked off the set of Texas chainsaw massacre to be metal according to the kids.

  89. J.... B....

    HOLY SHIT! I came here almost expecting to be pissed off, but Jack just fucking nailed it! That recorder solo was epic!

    J.... B....

    It's a simple question of respect. Tenacious D isn't going to give anything less than beyond their best to honor such a guy. I'd argue this is one of the best things Tenacious D has every done, and that's not just because it's Last in Line that they're singing. It's just the preformance they put into this.

    J.... B....

    the only thing i'm pissed about is slipknot fans getting their asses hurt.
    why can't people appreciate this heartfelt cover?

    J.... B....

    Dio was Jack's hero. Nothing but the biggest love and respect to the rock God. They said Jack cried recording this.

  90. s.... k....

    Jack black really did put all of his love for dio in this

    s.... k....

    Thank You!!!

  91. M.... P....

    I love Jack Black and his band but i love slipknot much more and they deserved it more to be honest

  92. K.... K....

    That was amazing

  93. M.... P....

    Except for the solo, this is a sublime cover

  94. D.... T....

    I very much appreciate and respect vocal abilities of Jack Black but covering any Dio tune is a tall order. Nobody, NO ONE! Electronically enhanced or not, can replicate Ronnie James Dio as of yet in my opinion. It requires range, tone, and the incredible displacement of cubic feet per minute of air the man could produce.

    D.... T....

    +Daniel Tyler Jack Black is one of the best options if he had to sing exactly like Ronnie.... but this is a fucking cover.

    D.... T....

    No he's not, he had to sing the song something like an entire fifth down.

    The singer of Astral Doors is a great candidate to do a Dio cover. The list of metal singers who could handle this song in the original key is pretty lengthy.

    Jack did his best here, but there's a reason he had to sing it so much lower than the original, it's not even close to as hard as the original composition.

  95. J.... D....

    was that a harmonica and flute?

  96. B.... A....

    good cover!!!jack black have a great metal voice!!!

  97. F.... G....

    nunca gostei de cover ou regravações mas essa ficou da hora.

  98. O.... ....

    i fully support that fucking awesome recorder solo

    O.... ....

    +Ozzmaster2112 Fuck yeah!

    O.... ....

    +Ozzmaster2112 That's KG in your face!

    O.... ....

    Get in there KG you classically trained beast!

  99. D.... L....

    Everybody giving out about weather Slipknot or Tenacious D are better obviously cannot accept that both are fantastic in their own genres.

  100. D.... L....

    I love the D! Wait....
