Alone at last we can sin and fight. And I've lost all…
“Alone at last we can sin and fight. And I've lost all faith in this blurring light, (Stay right here we can change our plight. Storming through this despite what's right.) One final fight for this tonight. Whoa-oh-oh With knives and pens we made our plight. [The lyric video's additional line:] Whoa-oh-oh Lay your heart down, the end's in sight. Conscience begs for you to do what's right. (Everyday it's still the same dull knife, Stab right through and justify your pride.) One final fight for this tonight. Whoa-oh-oh With knives and pens we made our plight. Whoa-oh-oh Well I can't go on without your love, you lost, you never held on. (We tried our best. Turn out the light. Turn out the light!) One final fight for this tonight. Whoa-oh-oh With knives and pens we made our plight. Whoa-oh-oh Well I can't go on without your love, you lost, you never held on. (We tried our best. Turn out the light. Turn out the light!)”
