Finale (A3 S7)
[Lloyd]
And so… I can’t narrate this. Come on, Jackie, you mean to tell me Constance just sings another song and it dispels the first?

[Jackie]
Yes, how else were we gonna solve--

[Lloyd]
That’s stupid!

[Jackie]
Well, what were we supposed to do?

[Lloyd]
You’re supposed to not change the narrative

[Jackie]
Lloyd, the entire city was going to fall

[Lloyd]
That’s the point. It’s supposed to be an epic tragedy

[Jackie]
Well, we don’t want an epic tragedy. Jesus, Lloyd, what’s with the bloodthirsty attitude?

[Lloyd]
It’s thе beauty of the story. The story would bе told for generations
[Jackie]
For heaven’s sakes, Lloyd, we’re not interested in your epic tragedy. Besides, the most striking tragedies are always the most intimate ones. Lloyd?

[Lloyd]
Okay. Okay, Jackie, I actually see your point

[Jackie]
Oh, thank God

[Lloyd]
The intimate ones are the best. It’s no fall of New Albion but... but if Constance dies...

[Jackie]
No! Not Constance

[Lloyd]
No, it would be beautifully heart wrenching

[Jackie]
Lloyd!

[Lloyd]
We’ll do it your way

[Jackie]
You can’t do that. You are not the story. You're just the bloody Narrator
[Lloyd]
Watch and learn, Jackie
And so, as the government forces slowly regain their senses they find Constance O’Brien, the most hunted thief in the city standing right before them

[Jackie]
John! John, protect Constance! These soldiers, when they snap out of it they’re going to kill her!

[John]
No, they’re not

It’s time you all go, I'll keep them away
I promise you'll be safe today
And here as your father, it's my job to
Die if need be for you

We stole a day so sweet
We talked just you and me
It’s more than I had ever dreamed

[Blood Red Dogs]
Lock and load, let it go, the loathsome sideshow
Is coming on down the town
Barker in your hand, it’s a bedlam jam
We’ll be tearing it up all around
Fire in the hole, it’s a breezy stroll
We’ll have tea in hell today
When the Blood Red Dogs come to do a job
And send you on your way
[Thomas]
The thief is a lady, but now we both must get to safety
All along I've tried to keep you safe
Please, let me help get you somewhere safe, secure then
If you wish, I'll turn and go away

[Constance]
I’m giving it up, I’m giving a try
I’ll find a new way to fight the same fight
And I’m giving a chance, I’ll give you a try
I’ll give you tonight

[Blood Red Dogs]
Lock and load, let it go, the loathsome sideshow
Is coming on down the town
Barker in your hand, it’s a bedlam jam
We’ll be tearing it up all around

[Jackie]
I always hated birthdays

[John]
Why have you not fled to safety?

[Jackie]
I’m staying, staying by your side
You’re my blood, I won’t leave you I won’t run
We’re not alone, not here, not you and I
And besides
I never call on birthdays

[John]
Jackie

[Jackie]
I wish for your forgiveness, I wish the past was different
I wish I would have known

[John]
I wish for stars and sails, pipe dreams and fairy tales
But atonement time has flown

[Company Captain]
Attention, John O'Brien: You are surrounded. There is no possibility of escape. Put down your weapon and surrender

[John]
In the fire, in the fire
In the fire, in the fire
Bathe in the fire, in the fire
Bathe in the fire, in the fire

Run or taste my rage
Run or this is your last day
Run, run away
Run, and on the day you come
You are done, I say
Run, run away
Run, run

In the fire, in the fire
In the fire, bathe in the fire
In the fire, in the fire
In the fire, in the fire
