[Verse 1]
If we burn our Cwings
Flying too close to the Dsun
If the moment of Amglory
Is over before it's begDun
If the dream is Cwon
Though everything is Amlost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost
[Verse 2]
When the dust has Ccleared
And victory deDnied
A summit too Amlofty
River a little too Dwide
If we keep our Cpride
Though paradise is Amlost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost

[Verse 3]
And if the music Cstops
There's only the sound of the Drain
All the hope and Amglory
All the sacrifice in Dvain
And if love reCmains
Though everything is Amlost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost
[Outro]
And if love reCmains
Though everything is Amlost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost
And if love reCmains
Though everything is Amlost
We will pay the Gprice
But we will not count the Emcost
And if love reCmains...

[Verse 1]

If we burn our wings

Flying too close to the sun

If the moment of glory

Is over before it's begun

If the dream is won

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

[Verse 2]

When the dust has cleared

And victory denied

A summit too lofty

River a little too wide

If we keep our pride

Though paradise is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

[Verse 3]

And if the music stops

There's only the sound of the rain

All the hope and glory

All the sacrifice in vain

And if love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

[Outro]

And if love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

And if love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

And if love remains...
