At long last it was the night of Pete’s final performance
The culmination of a tour of gigantic proportions
A huge success and rave reviews received throughout the lane
And no one except Pete knew the finale that was planned
He had said his last goodbyes and ordered his affairs
Tears were shed with closest ones for whom he really cares
Pete’s final preparation was at the guitar store
Where he collected that guitar for just one journey more
CHORUS:
He would cement his place in history
With an enduring mystery
With all his heart and soul he played and sang
Then at the end he went out with a mighty bang
Such a buzz and build up had never before been known
The atmosphere electric, minds ready to be blown
The scene was set for a legend to write its final page
As at last the Pete Chronos Band exploded onto stage
(CHORUS)
After an amazing set had been played by the band
Pete left the stage and returned with a strange guitar in his hand
He announced his retirement to shocked and dismayed fans
And then he struck the final chord and completed his plans
(CHORUS)
Pete raised one hand up high
And looked up to the sky
The soundwave seemed to crash
There was a blinding flash
Then where his spotlight shone
Pete Chronos vanished and was gone
