I damned myself
I've taken all the time I need
To show, what you really mean
So sit here with me
In a bid that we will be set free
I've taken all the time to set you free
And I'll stand with you here for, for a chance for you to be free

I know it's hard to fight again
And I fucking see
I know it's hard
I know it's hard I know it's hard to love to love to love again
I know it's hard

Three years today
I've fought this war, three fucking years
I've fought this war, I've fought this war
Ooh, I've watched you fail, I've fought this war

I know it's hard to fight again
And I fucking see
I know it's hard
I know it's hard I know it's hard to love to love to love again
I know it's hard

I think you know
I've seen the light
Shining through crimson skies bless this
I've seen the light

Shining through crimson skies
Bless this
