Hey, what i meant to say
Let's get lost and find our way
And chance might shine on us, today
We fight we win we fight we lose we fight
We get lost and call it a night
Our mouths will tire before our devils do
There's a promise hidden in my blood
In the name of everything I love
I will draw the crescent down
And set it in your crown
Remember what you said
Better to run than play dead
Here's our chance to prove it
Let's just do it
I have a dream and we are looking back and laughing
And there's a promise hidden in my blood
In the name of everything I love
I will draw the crescent down
And set it in your crown
