I know it’s too late to run
I realize what I have done
I led you to their rocks and guns
A bag of money of money for the chosen one
A bag of silver and a silver tongue
I gave you nothing and you gave your blood
You dragged that cross through the rocks and mud
A crown of thorns for the chosen one
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Tell me how I do that, do that, do that
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Is your sacrifice for everyone?
Is there absolution for a wayward son?
If I look for hope will I find none?
Is mercy only for your chosen ones?
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Tell me how I do that, do that, do that
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Or will I live in infamy in your history, in your history, in your history?
Or will I live in infamy in your history, in your history, in your history?
Say there’s a chance for me, for me, for me
Or will I live in infamy in your history, in your history, in your history?
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
Say there’s a chance for me, for me, for me
Is there a way to take it back, take it back, take it back?
