Lyrics Costly - Stephanie Quick , FAI STUDIOS

Stay alive, friend; don't give up now
Tempting it is when others go down
I know it hurts; I know these bullets burn
But we are "more than conquerors"

Stay alive, friend; don't leave the field
Sword in hand, you know this war is real
Bitterness is the death of fallen flesh
Still, no one's to be left behind just yet

Rhetoric and words are useless for the dirge
Such songs were never cheap
The cowards will run when love demands courage
And all those costly things

Stay alive, friend; don't forsake love
For it's all that covers your shed blood
I know it hurts to grieve; I know it hurts to breathe
But guard, above all, your heart in the siege

Rhetoric and words are useless for the dirge
Such songs were never cheap
The cowards will run when love demands courage
And all those costly things

It's difficult to see why the wounded would rather lie and bleed
It's difficult to see why captives don't always want to be free
But it was never yours to solve the mystery of all man's iniquity

And all those costly things
All those costly things
