Up the river there's a foreign army watching Setting foot would be a fatal mistake If I don't make it out before the Czar comes calling Get the notion that the cradle will break Following the footsteps of all that I've lost I'll see you both again oh no matter the cost Following the footsteps of all that I've lost I'll see you both again oh no matter the cost Had to tell 'em that you passed without a warning Had to tell 'em was a second too late Had to tell 'em there's no message, note, or money Now I'm living in the mess that you made Oh no matter the cost, no matter the cost No matter all the worthless bridges burning Still the general upon the pedestal Still the comfort in the sound of my name Following the footsteps of all that I've lost I'll see you both again oh no matter the cost Following the footsteps of all that I've lost I'll see you both again oh no matter the cost Ah-oooohhh oooohhh ohhh ohhh Following the footsteps of all that I've lost I'll see you both again oh no matter the cost Following the footsteps of all that I've lost I'll see you both again oh no matter the cost
