[INTRO — distorted bass, dry kick, distant clock tick] You know how this ends. You saw the beginning. You know the ending. And still— you keep talking. [VERSE 1] You don't have forever. You know that better than me. Every breath you steal is one you don't get to keep. So you count the hours, you spend what you've got. You don't need to win— you just need me to stop. One more lie. One more night. One more compromise I call alright. You keep whispering, "There's still time." But you know the clock. [PRE-CHORUS] Tick. Tick. You can hear it too. Every second is a second closer to You. [CHORUS] YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! You know it. You know it. THE WAR WAS NEVER YOURS TO WIN! You just don't want me to know it. YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! Your time is running out. So you're making all this noise before the silence comes down. YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! AND YOU KNOW IT. [VERSE 2] You can tempt. You can accuse. You can drag my past into the room. You can point at every scar and say, "Look what you've become." You can remind me of every time I fell. But you can't change what happened at the cross. You can rage against the light. You can pull at every thread. But the grave is empty. And you know what that means. [PRE-CHORUS] Tick. Tick. Keep talking. Keep me looking at the floor. Because if I ever look up— you lose me to the One you can't defeat. [CHORUS — wider, layered gang vocals] YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! You know it. You know it. THE WAR WAS NEVER YOURS TO WIN! You just don't want me to know it. YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! Your time is running out. So you're making all this noise before the silence comes down. YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! AND YOU KNOW IT. [BRIDGE — bass and clock, close whispered vocal] You don't need forever. You just need today. You don't need my soul. You just need me to give it away. You don't need me to hate God. You just need me distracted. You don't need me to deny Him. You just need me to forget. [clock stops] But here's what you forgot. [BUILD] YOU'RE ON A CLOCK TOO. [BREAKDOWN — crushing half-time] TICK. THE KING IS COMING. TICK. THE NIGHT IS ENDING. TICK. THE GRAVE IS EMPTY. TICK. CHRIST HAS WON. YOU CAN'T UNDO THE CROSS! YOU CAN'T FILL THE GRAVE! YOU CAN'T OUTRUN THE MORNING! YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE END! [FINAL CHORUS — frantic full band, gang vocals] YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! YOU KNOW IT. YOU KNOW IT. THE WAR WAS NEVER YOURS TO WIN! YOU JUST DON'T WANT ME TO KNOW IT. YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT! SO I'M DONE LISTENING TO A VOICE THAT KNOWS IT'S GOING DOWN! YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! AND YOU KNOW IT! YOU'VE ALREADY LOST! CHRIST HAS WON! [OUTRO — clock ticking, then silence] Tick. Tick. Tick. Time's up.
