Decide now!
Decide now before you continue
The list is complete without your permission
I finally know how, I finally can't quit
And ancient ideas are on fire, my love
Completely the rope has been severed
The night screams for contact and clue
I must keep a journal
I must boast a victory
And the hellfire is dying around you, my love
Around you, my love X12
