Lyrics

Can't Go Back

This vicious beast

Has struck at home

We're on our knees

But we are not alone

Our hero's here

Her sword is stained with blood

One beast is dead

But that is not enough

So we can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

The time is now

You swore you'd see this through

It's eye for eye

It must be tooth for tooth

This brutal beast

Must die in agony

For her offense

For this catastrophe

So we can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

If we are to stay alive

Then the beast cannot survive

(If we are to stay alive

Then the beast cannot survive)

If we are to stay alive

Then the beast cannot survive

(If we are to stay alive

Then the beast cannot survive)

The time is now

You swore you'd see this through

It's eye for eye

It must be tooth for tooth

This brutal beast

Must die in agony

For her offense

For this catastrophe

So we can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now

Can't go back, can't go back now
