[Verse 1] Skipping to the beginning The dictator’s voice on loop Again and again it circles Like a wound I can’t come through I walk over to the sofa The screen still burns my eyes Finbar turns his head too fast Like he already knows my mind [Pre-Chorus] “We have to save her.” It leaves my mouth like prayer Finbar jumps, glancing over At the darkened staircase there [Chorus] We have to save her We have to save her Even if the cost is high We have to save her We have to save her Before they shut the night [Verse 2] He shuts off the screen Stands up slow and plain The room feels smaller than a fist And full of trapped-in rain “We can’t,” he says, “we can’t” His voice is sharp with fear “It’s too dangerous,” he says And I can barely hear [Pre-Chorus] The silence leans between us Heavy as a stone The repeated announcement Keeps on calling us home [Chorus] We have to save her We have to save her Even if the cost is high We have to save her We have to save her Before they shut the night [Bridge] If danger is the price Then tell me where to pay I’d rather break my body Than let them take her away [Final Chorus] We have to save her We have to save her Even if the cost is high We have to save her We have to save her Before they shut the night We have to save her We have to save her I won’t let go tonight
