Cause you and I, Tom,
We are men,
And we can bend,
And we can break.

There was a moment in the darkness
Just before the blinding light
The world was standing there before you
Just out of sight.

So you will stay here. You will OBEY me,
And I will keep grieving for the son I sent to death.

And the spark that we carry will turn the dark into
A flame, a fire, a light.

IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME,
IF THERE EVER WAS A CHANCE,
TO UNDO THE THINGS I'VE DONE AND WASH THESE BLOODSTAINS FROM MY HANDS
IT HAS PASSED AND BEEN FORGOTTEN.

I know we've had our chance.
But I know the fight is already done.
