We're a ship without a storm Cold without the warm Light inside the darkness lit at peace We're a laugh without a tear Hope without the fear We are coming home We're off to the witch We may never never never come home But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime We're all born upon the cross We're the throw before the toss You can release yourself but the only way is down We don't come alone We are fire we are stone We're the hand that writes and quickly moves away We'll know for the first time If we're evil or divine We're the last in line, yeah We're the last in line Two eyes from the east It's the angel of the beast And the answer lies between all good and bad We search for the truth We could die upon the tooth But the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain We'll know for the first time If we're evil or divine We're the last in line yeah We're the last in line oh Yeah We're off to the witch We may never never never come home But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime We're all born upon the cross You know, we're the throw before the toss You can release yourself but the only way is down We'll know for the first time If we're evil or divine We're the last in line oh We're the last in line See how we shine We're the last in We're the last in line We're a ship without a storm We're cold inside the warm We're the last without a tear We're the throw without the meal We're the last in line See how we shine We're the last in line
