Lyrics

Virtue

Life is hard, girl
You won’t ascend
Till you’ve done this

Your office
This one night
Decide and
Done

Who would stop my
Shrewd, absolved right
To this justice
For your climb

So turn around
And let your hair down
This honor of your rise
Is mine

Don’t speak of this
It’s your disgrace
Against my power

Move forward
And know that
You’re all in now

Who would stop my
Shrewd, absolved right
To this justice
For your climb

So turn around
And let your hair down
This honor of your rise
Is mine

I can’t slow down
I’ve worked too hard to lose so much
Your threats hanging over my head

One hard-lived night
And this all will be behind me
I’ll just think of it as
One final rung
Before I’ve earned my wings

Claw my way
Through the filth and slime
Turn my face
From this shadow

(LEAD GUITAR)

(Who would stop my…)

No turning back

(Shrewd, absolved right,..)

Close your eyes and be still
(Who would stop my…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)

Think of all the good you’ll do
(Who would stop my…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)

There’s no other way through
(Shrewd, absolved right…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)

Trust that you will survive this
(Who would stop my…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)

You’ll find it will be worth it
(Shrewd, absolved right…)
(Just one hard-lived night…)
(Hang on, hang on, you’ve got this…)

This job means more than just sex
